    The Royal Library at Stockholm contains a précis of Arderne’s writings in the form of a manuscript on eight pages of vellum made into a roll of about five yards in length. A copy of this roll has been made for Mr. H. S. Wellcome’s Historical Medical Museum. It shows that the original is written in three columns and is abundantly illustrated. Itisin Latin, and is apparently a very short abstract of Arderne’s works. A later hand has added the date 1412. Some of the birth figures resemble those in Raynald’s Byrth of Mankynd.
