Interesting.
I did not know much about the history of coffee (drinking).

The preceding section says:
The description of coffee follows the description of beer.
The following sections are about "Acetum" and "Liquores e pomo et e piro".

However, this description:
Quote:§ 8. Coffaeum.
Impedit atque facit somnos, capitisque doloresTollere Coffaeum novit, stomachiquo vapores;Urinare facit; crebro muliebria movit;Hoc cape selectum validum, mediocriter ustum

Quote:§ 7. Cerevisia
Non sit acetosa cerevisia, sed bene clara,De validis cocta granis satis ac veterata,De qua potetur, stomachus non inde gravetur.Grossos humores nutrit cerevisia, virces,Praestat, et augmentat carnem, generatque cruorem,Provocat urinam, ventrem quoque mollit et inflat.
