Description

Decorated manuscript in Latin, ink on parchment. Four cuttings once re-used to form pastedowns and endleaves for a landscape format volume (measuring 140 by 200 mm). Remains of single column up to 32 lines in a tiny early gothic bookhand. Rubrics in pale red, initials in red or blue with contrasting penwork. Fragments from four leaves from a medical treatise discussing diseases and disorders of the stomach. There are entries here on pleurisy, pain in the stomach, vomiting, and on childbirth, as in the medieval tradition this was often grouped with other stomach disorders. - 17th-century ownership of Michel Bonniel inscribed to one cutting. Some scuffs, small holes and discolouration, otherwise in good condition.
