Description |
MS.409, Leech-Books, VI. Middle-English leech-book, containing medical receipts, including some charms; a Latin-English Glossary of herbs; short tracts on urines, the cure of wounds, uses of herbs, etc. By several hands, with a few 17th cent. additions. A new foliation in pencil has been added, but there is an older (16th cent.) foliation in ink. The following leaves (new foliation) appear to be wanting: The first 6 ll.; between ff. 9 and 10, 1 leaf; between ff. 11 and 12, 2 leaves; between ff. 53 and 54, one leaf: between ff. 83 and 84, 4 leaves; between ff. 96 and 97, 108 and 109, one leaf; between ff. 114 and 115, 2 leaves; between ff. 145 and 145, 3 leaves. Many leaves are worn, with frayed margins. Initials, paragraph marks and headings in red. A number of entries-mainly charms-have been struck through or obliterated with ink. Ff. 1-7 Medical receipts by a late 14th cent. hand. 8-22 Medical receipts by an early 15th cent. hand, with some additions by an early 17th cent. owner. 23-49 Medical receipts by another early 15th cent. hand. 49-53v Glossary of herbs in Latin and English (incomplete).
