The bottom of 66r is one of the few obvious things in the ms. There is an obviously sick person pointing to a swelling on its abdomen, there is something like a pot (with a yellowish substance in it?) and two pancakelike things. The reading of mus and mel is undisputable, the script is really like the Gothic script on 116v, German Mus - English pulp or puree and mel, German Mehl, English flour. Mehl is what you take for making Mus. It is a prescription for making a plaster with an ointment. That is why I have suggested before that the en on the left margin is an abbreviation for enplastrum. What would interest me is why someone has made a squiggle over the mel, if it is the same squiggle as that before the en, which i take for a Nota-sign, what is under the opposite folio, which is difficult to see and if the single letter is a p (it looks a bit like a Greek Gamma). And the big question is, of course, if it has something to do with the rest of 66r.
