Alchemic recipes, 15th century
Alchemic recipes in Latin (ff. 68v-71r) and in German (ff. 71r-72v).

The recipes are written by at least two different hands, both later than the first hand and more cursive.
Recipes, 17th century

The hand is the same throughout, and each recipe on ff. 139v-140v, has been signed 'per me Franciscus Cox'.
