Description
Summary:	This book offers a semi-diplomatic transcription of Elizabeth Jacob's Physicall and chyrurgicall receipts (MS Wellcome 3009 (ff. 17r-90r)), an Early Modern English remedy-book housed in the Wellcome Library, London, and hitherto unedited. The edition is accompanied by a linguistic analysis of the text, together with a palaeographic and a codicological study of the volume. As such, this book conforms itself as a primary source for research in historical linguistics and other related fields such as the history of medicine and ecdotics.
