MS. Hamilton 35 - flyleaf (fol. [i])
Contents
Language(s): German
fragment
This fragment is an unfoliated parchment leaf which has a text in German on what is now the recto. The flyleaf is an unfolded bifolium, and originally the text would have been on the second verso of the bifolium. The main text is substantially worn through being pasted onto the board cover.
It contains a medical treatise on the treatment of morphea, a form of skin disease. The treatise contains medicinal recipes, along with an exemplum of one master Johannes who was treated for this complaint by his wife. This text is similar to that in Trier, Stadtbibliothek Hs. 1025/1944 8º, beginning on fol. 124v, where it forms part of a collection of medical recipes associated with a heavily interpolated text of the ‘Arzneibuch’: cf. Betty C. Bushey, Die deutschen und niederländischen Handschriften der Stadtbibliothek Trier bis 1600 (Wiesbaden 1996), pp. 138–143. The precise status of this recipe within the ‘Arzneibuch’ is not yet precisely defined; it does not feature in the single-manuscript edition of the oldest manuscript (Cologne, Stadtarchiv W 4º 24*), that being James Follan (ed.), Das Arzneibuch Ortolfs von Baierland, Veröffentlichungen der Internationalen Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Pharmazie e. V., N. F. 23 (Stuttgart 1963).
Physical Description
Layout
Two columns of 22 lines each; the final three lines of the second column contain a later Latin benediction, in weaker ink and heavily faded.
