Continens: libri XIII-XVI; incomplete, and in an abbreviated version.
Written in double column of 40-44 lines to a column: some headings in red, and some paragraph marks in red, or alternate blue and red. The script is an Italian semi-cursive gothic, the same throughout. A number of leaves are missing at the end as may be judged from the pen-drawing of a rose on the fore-edge of which about a quarter is wanting: on the upper edge the letters, 'RAS' are faintly visible. The spine is lettered 'Liber Medicinae'.
Fol. 1, col. 1 (red) Incipit liber XIIIus/de apostemate appellato squirros/de apostematibus solidis... line 11 [D]E libro signorum/dixit Squirros est/apostema inflatum et/durum... 252, col. 2 ...Binbahrin cum uo/. cabulis logicalibus secundum descriptiones/earum Vnum nos compleret uolentes/.
The Books XIII-XVI of this MS appear to correspond with the description given of the Venice edition of 1542 as found in Haller's Bibliotheca Chirurgica 1, p. 127-131.
Book XV is unfinished, and ends abruptly at fol. 182v, col. 2 in the middle of a sentence: 'usque ad hoc' written in the margin.
This work was first printed at Brescia in 1486.
