  <dc:title>Medical Dictionary and Other Treatises (1425)</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Manuscript volume, apparently dating from 1425, containing a dictionary of medical terms and other treatises. Marginal comments throughout, 16th-17th century, including medicinal recipes, the entries frequently stating the name of the person who found them beneficial and the date. Topics include smell, pregnancy, post-natal depression and obesity. There is a section on prognostication that includes advice on how to find a thief. Also a text on the pestilential plague, f.329v-332v and magical recipes (f.335r)

Manuscript waste fragment leaf at the front of the volume bears text of theological content, possibly St Augustine's commentary on the psalms (specifically Enarratio in Psalmum CXXXIV) in a 13th-century script.</dc:description>
