Medical miscellany [manuscript], ca. 1634.

254 leaves.

Contains 8 lectures by 4 individuals identified only by their initials: J.B.M.D., T.J., W.B., and J.C. The lectures are all dated 1634 and appear to be by members of the Society of Apothecaries; perhaps as inaugural lectures upon election to membership. Also includes many medical formulas and cookery recipes (leaves 225-253).
