Summary

This manuscript is a collection of remedies and recipes in German and Latin for a variety of medicines against diseases and afflictions including epilepsy, jaundice, the plague, podagra, stillbirth, strokes, and venereal diseases. The recipes are arranged in sections dated 1568 and 1600, suggesting origins in multiple sources. The partial Latin index (A-C) at the end of the volume (fols. 168r-168v) refers to Latin recipes earlier in the volume (modern fols. 52-83, early foliation 1-28).
