Title
The Old English Illustrated Pharmacopoeia
Description
This pharmacopoeia is an Old English translation of a group of medical documents originally written in Latin, potentially for common use rather than to strictly guide the work of physicians and apothecaries. This edition contains a detailed list of the manuscript’s contents with codicological and paleographic observations, notes on the history and usage of the manuscript, and black and white scans of manuscript pages (with some full-color illustrations).
