on page 69 you can find the herb phyteuma (teufelskralle).
in latin: 1 qua at ea a ore cerea a cere a et mer 2 a daRi i eum ea al eum a da que aer meum
in german: 1 Da wo aber dieses in dem Gesicht fettig bei wachsartig um sogar rein 2 übertragen werden eins, er dieses halte, er mit übertrage und der Gestank vornehmlich
in english: 1 There where but these in the face greasy with waxy actually clean 2 assigned one, he hold these, he with carry and the stink especially
These first lines already helped me to figure out that the herb depicted really exist.
It is Teufelskralle, a Phyteuma spec. It schould help against acne and greasy skin. It stinks, by the way, and the smell is hated (line 4, aer osa). However, the herb does not work properly, which is described in the text. So do not use this herb to treat your acne. It is old wisdom, that it does not work.
As in all my translations I was able to identify the herb by text translations, and not by searching the internet for herbs that might look like those that are depicted. My translations helped me to identify things described in this manuscript.
Of note: as some letters are not inside my chart, may be they have to added, but may be not. I do not miss a "p" or a "h", however as some of my passages sound unsophisticated, it might be that I have to add those, or anyone else. Feel free to translate that thing, it is latin.
