The present work is a very rare and little-known compendium of practical medicine and contains, as well, tracts by Euricius Cordus and Hieronymus Bock (1498-1554). The colored vignette on the title page and quaint woodcut illustrations through the text go to make this an interesting and charming little hand-book.
