Pharmacopeia and receipt book, 1632 - 1646
Scope and Contents
The original receipts are marked in the margin with Turquet de Mayerne's abbreviated initials, and those communicated, with the name of the author, also in the margin. It appears to comprise the interval from 1627 to 1651, though there is a reference on p. 99 to the date 1610. To a prescription for smallpox on p. 177, there is the marginal note 'feliciter dedi regi Carolo laboranti variolis an. 1632.'
