Book excerpt: 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.

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.
