Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 530 contains two medical tracts: the Canon medicinae by Avicenna (Abu 'Ali al-Husain ibn 'Abdallah Ibn Sina) translated into Latin by Gerard of Cremona (c. 1114-87), and the De accidenti et morbo by Galen (129-99). The manuscript was written in Germany in 1398 and contains many ornamental initials. It has lost its binding. It is part of the Elbing collection, a group of manuscripts which belonged to a Brigittine convent at Elbing (Elblag), near Gdansk. The collection was donated to Corpus Christi College by either Richard Pernham (1583?-1628) or his wife Mary, whose name is in many of these books.
