Abstract
Collection of approximately 500 recipes, mostly in Latin, for medical remedies in many forms (essences, balsams, powders, pills, plasters, elixirs, waters, tinctures, creams, syrups, wines, and cordials) for many ailments (eyes, teeth, epilepsy, headache, plague, stomach, menstrual). Many remedies have attributions to physicians (including Oswald Croll (circa 1563-1609, f. 141v), Isaac Habrecht II (1589-1633, f. 39r), Abraham Sandeck (f. 9r), Melchior Sebisch (f. 19v), and Johann Zwelfer (1618-1688, f. 189r)) or places (London, Paris, Strasbourg, Vienna, Wrocław (in manuscript as Wratislavia)). A tabbed alphabetical index at the end of the volume (f. 237r-255r) was continued by at least one additional hand, perhaps the same reader who extended the foliation after f. 155.
