Can't take leave of MsMurQ 12, this is the next folio 87r:

[attachment=3840]

"der nem ihm trink ladken somen ader geismilch oder bren geis bonen zebulfer..."

Note also the "bren", and the curious word ending in "-fer". The last word of the first line of VMS You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. also ends in "-fer".

Note also the reduplication of "der blut harn". I guess it ends the sentence, and then begins the following sentence. That's what I mulled over in the "Sequential repetitions" thread.

Next page, 87v, second paragraph reads "...oder bren geis bonen zebulver"

"f" and "v" interchangeable

"Bulfer" = Swiss for "ashes" You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

(Compare to "pulver")

"bren zebulfer" must be "burn into ashes"

"bonen" = "Beinen"?

f88v adds the word form "pulfer": "wie man ein gut pulfer machen..."

89r first line: "zebuluer", and line 5: "puluer"

This is all by one and the same scribe.

Reading these lines, I see that "powder" is very frequent word in medical recipes/

zerpulvern, zerreiben, etwas in Pulver verwandeln. verpulvert = bereits zerrieben.

powder, grind, turn something into powder. powdered, already grinded

On the subject of "powder"
Probably the most used tool in powder production.
This brings me to page 1. Symbols

and the other symbol ?

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Symbols, probably concerning the herbal and medical part of the VM[/font]

I've always thought of the last weirdo as of the cup and snake (the Hygieia's vessel), old symbol of medicine.

What's the tool on your second photo? A plane? Not sure if that would relate to a herbal.

At first I also thought the bird weirdo was a plough. But some time ago I found a capital V just like it (shared somewhere on the forum).
