Summary

22 partial bifolia and leaves from up to 3 Latin manuscripts, probably copied in France in the 15th century, later cut into upper and lower halves and used in a binding. 7 partial leaves and bifolia are from a medical text, with section numbers in the upper margins and subsection letters in the side margins, 11A, 12A, 19D-22B, and with headings such as Humiditas, Olofactus, Gustus, Humor, and Sanguis written in Gothic textura with 2- or 3-line initials in red or blue. All of the texts are otherwise written in Gothic cursive in 2 columns, by at least three hands, and are rubricated, although not consistently and perhaps by later hands. Scriptural and literary references appear on the leaves that do not contain medical texts. Worm damage in margins.
