Fragments from four leaves from a medical treatise discussing diseases and disorders of the stomach. There are entries here on pleurisy, pain in the stomach, vomiting, and on childbirth, as in the medieval tradition this was often grouped with other stomach disorders.
17th-century ownership of Michel Bonniel inscribed to one cutting. Some scuffs, small holes and discolouration, otherwise in good condition.
