Description:
Medical recipes. In the top margin: a grotesque ink drawing of a pair of eyes, with the words '. Exp(er)iment þ(t) jpocras vsid .' written in a later hand. Line 19 seems to be a scribal error: 'cloþe' instead of 'cup'. The written space is c. 163 x 115 mm and the script is mainly secretary.
