Recipe ad stillandum aurum potabile by Pseudo-Llull , c 1525

 part
Identifier: MS 122/f. 141v

Contents

This folio (f. 141v) contains a short recipe to obtain potable gold, titled Ad Stillandum aurum potabile. Potable gold was thought to be medicinal, so this recipe probably relates to the De Medicinis Secretissimis in the previous section. Recipes such as this have also been wrongly attributed to Ramon Llull.

Writing

This section is written in the same hand as the previous section (ff. 129r-141r), which is similar to that of the rest of the manuscript.
