Morning All,



Just found this You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. 



"A collection of recipes, in Latin, written by two hands, probably in North East Italy, mid 15th century. The collection follows the usual head to toe arrangement in medieval medical manuals and, in particular, in the Liber nonus ad Almansorem, a treatise on the medical therapy of diseases written by the Persian physician Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi (865-925 or 933), known in the West as Rhazes or Rhasis. Additional recipes added at the end of the volume by contemporary hands include excerpts from the Antidotarium of the Paduan physician Bartolomeo da Montagnana (c. 1380-before Feb. 1452)."



So far , so interesting... And then at the bottom of one page, I see something vaguely pipe like..and it's only on this one page, so it doesn't look like a section marker..

The Wellcome Collection is brilliant.  Look at this:  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

"Collection of medical and pharmacological treatises, relating to general medical rules, food and drink, treatment of fevers and other diseases, and the preparation and properties of simple and compound drugs from plants and animals, preceded by a table of contents and the prologue from Avicenna, Liber medicinalis or Canon medicinae, and followed by a Compendium de regimine sanitatis [Salernitano]; copied in a cursive Gothic hand in Germany before 1435.....

18. ff. 107v-108v: Medical receipts added by a number of 15th-century hands, in Latin and German.
   


And if that weren't enough, we even have symbols on the very first page....
