  • Résumé : CCCC MS 388 is a compendium of medical treatises and recipes including works attributed to Hippocrates, Galen, Scelpius and 'H. Sampsonis de Clouburnel'. The contents are written in English, Latin and Anglo-Norman and were copied c. 1330. As such, it throws an interesting light on the creation and transmission of multi-lingual texts in later medieval England. An analysis of the Middle English components of this volume suggests that it was written or copied by an author who employed a linguistic style that has been localised to East Anglia in the vicinity of Ely. Other than this, there are no clues as to the manuscript's provenance.
