Alphabetical glossary of drugs and their properties
A very neatly written manuscript in a bold uncial hand with marginalia. The first folio is a leaf taken from another manuscript to serve as a cover. This odd leaf is rubricated, but there are no rubrics in the main text, nor any illuminations, black ink only being employed. There is no title, nor any indication of the writer's identity, but the script, spelling and composition of the manuscript all point to the late fifteenth century as its date. (The Saxon forms of some of the letters are retained, especially r and f.) The volume contains two separate compositions, but the whole is the work of one scribe, the second composition follows the first without break. There are some few marginal annotations in an Elizabethan handwriting.
