| Description | Six folios from a medical text, parchment. The text has yet to be positively identified but has been suggested as Pietro D'Abano's adaptation of the Universal Canons of Johannes Mesue the Younger.
Main body text in a Gothic textualis rotunda in dark brown arranged in two columns. With alternating red and blue paragraph marks, large red and blue capitals decorated with red and purple pen flourishes. Occasional rubrics and enlarged capitals in red and blue, and manicules on f.5 recto and verso. All folios have been heavily annotated in several hands ranging in date up to the early modern period, suggesting that the original manuscript was well-used. |
