Now that I’ve lured in new followers with cat pictures, it’s time for a lesson on medicine and magic in #medieval #manuscripts! Shown are 2 pages from a 12th c. manuscript, now Cambridge, Trinity College, MS B.15.36, which includes St. Bernard's "De Consideratione" and a history of Ireland.
Two facing pages in an open medieval manuscript, each page written in two columns. A professionally written texts end in the first column and the remaining three are filled with not so nicely written medical recipes and a magical charm against worms and fistula.
