Medieval Medical Recipes

<p style='text-align: justify;'>This manuscript consists of a 15th-century collection of more than 150 medical recipes, including diagnostic and prognostic texts and charms. The collection also contains a small number of culinary recipes.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>In the 16th-century, one or two owners added a paper flyleaf from an account book that refers to places near Peterborough and Cambridge; and a set of paper quires and bifolia with a table of contents for the 15th-century recipes with additional medical recipes and memoranda. The latter, too, refer to places near Cambridge.</p>
