The first picture with all the pipes sticking out is quite remarkable. I never quite realized how unusually pipe-heavy the VM is.

"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..
