Description:
A numbered table of medical recipes; however the numbers are wildly wrong after 'lxix' (Ker, 1983: 424). The first line is obscured torn: 'The[c]op[*] of [...]'. It really makes little sense to talk of lines, rows or columns on this folio. There are two main columns. A wavy line has been drawn between them. Chapter numbers in Roman numerals have been added to the right of each title, and most of them crossed through, and a different number added. The written space is c. 163 x 115 mm and the script is mainly secretary.
