Collection of medical receipts, mainly in Italian, with a few entries in Latin. In the original foliation, ff. 21, 60-62, 64-69, 71-119, 141-147, 152-158, 162, 163 and 181 are wanting: the upper part of fol. 40 has been torn away. A new foliation in pencil has been supplied. Some of the receipts have been smeared over in ink, among these are several charms and incantations. The compiler's name and the date are to be found on fol. 2v, at the end of a receipt 'a debelita de nervi' where he says 'per mi zinino carara aprovato in mi stesso adi 15 au[g]osto 1517'.
