About this work
Description
Continens: libri XIII-XVI; incomplete, and in an abbreviated version.
Written in double column of 40-44 lines to a column: some headings in red, and some paragraph marks in red, or alternate blue and red. The script is an Italian semi-cursive gothic, the same throughout. A number of leaves are missing at the end as may be judged from the pen-drawing of a rose on the fore-edge of which about a quarter is wanting: on the upper edge the letters, 'RAS' are faintly visible. The spine is lettered 'Liber Medicinae'.

Book XV is unfinished, and ends abruptly at fol. 182v, col. 2 in the middle of a sentence: 'usque ad hoc' written in the margin.
