Micrologus by Ricardus Anglicus, 14th century

Ff. 82-108 of MS 174 contains a section of the Micrologus by Ricardus Anglicus. The Micrologus is not known to survive as a complete text in any medieval manuscript, but texts attributed independently to Ricardus Anglicus, like in MS 174, are thought to have originally belonged together in a medical compendium. The part contained on ff. 82-108 of MS 174 (a section of the Microloguson diagnostic signs of disease is also contained in MS 174) is identified by its starting line as the Summa section of the Micrologus in Thorndike and Kibre's catalogue of medieval scientific manuscripts.

The text begins on f. 82r with a prolgue: Si quid agam pariter solitum veniam dare cuncti... The text proper begins on the same folio, with Vetustati sicut moderne novitati ex ossa fuisset..., and ends on f. 108v with the line fortius addita ferugine. Explicit micrologus mag. R. de causis et signis et curis curabilium morborum et de repressivis.
