Ff. 113v, 114r Medical receipts in Latin and Italian 'per mi Bartolommeo' -but written later.
He may possibly be the younger brother of Galeatius and was also a Professor of Medicine in Padua. He died in 1448.
This MS. is a palimpsest, and there are many faint traces of the original writing. On f. 108v, left margin, turning the manuscript makes visible a passage from the Decretals of Gregory IX: the passage is from book IV, although the recto side shows traces of book numbering that ascribe it to book V. In the third line, there can clearly be read "erat illi indicenda purgatio": the authorised text reads "erat utique illi".
Possibly produced in Padua.
