At the end of the ‘ Lapidaire ’ is an inscription : ‘ Ce present liure faisant mencion / de medecine et de la vertuz des / pierres précieuses Est a homme / honorable Jehan perraul[t] citoyen de chalon ... le xxiiii Jour de mais / lan courant mil iiii 0 soixante et quatre J perrault’. On the last leaf recto are two other inscriptions by Perrault, one dated 3 May 1465 apparently referring to the mis-bound leaves. On the verso of fol. 123 is another inscription by a different late 15th cent, owner : ‘A homme honorable et discret / monsieur iohan cherizier / mestre bachelier escolier’. The ‘Lapidaire’ as given in this MS., is set out as part of the Pseudo-Hippocratic ‘Epistola’. Actually it is an abbreviated version of the ‘De lapidibus’ by ‘Evax rex Arabum’ upon which Marbod founded his famous poem ‘Liber lapidum’ written in the 12th cent. ( Cf. Thorndike’s ‘History of Magic and Experimental Science ’, Vol. I, Ch. xxxiv.) This MS. is also recorded in Landouzy and Pépin’s edition of ‘Le régime du corps’, Paris, 1911, pp. xli, xlii.
