Item, [if it happens?] that a person is so stopped up [in the urine], that he weeps that his water (urine) does not [pass?] by any [way?], which brings the person great pains and distress: one shall take the middle shell of [such?] [nuts/galls?] and boil it in his beer or in wine, and drink it as warm [as] [it comes?], and [he passes water?] at once [through?]; and it is a [broad/ample?] [remedy?]. Item, for the [films/growths?] in the eyes or [fistulas?] in the eyes: one shall take a [clean?] white linen, a pure linen cloth, as wide as [is fitting?], and such cloth one shall smear onto a [wooden holder?], and light it with a flame; kindle it, [then?] one shall with a knife [scrape it?] a little, and not let it burn too long; thus there [oozes?] from it [clear?] grease (smaltz). Such grease one shall, with the [ring finger] ("nameless finger"), stroke over the eyelids; that kills all the [films?] and [fistulas?]. For common [wound?] [zuck weßall?] and [heart wounds?]: one shall take a [quarter?] of olive oil and three egg whites, and mix underneath a little barley flour; that heals exceedingly gently and greatly.

[—]

Item, against the [kidney/bladder] stone, an exceedingly good remedy. One shall take iij lot[?] of [illeg./glass?], adamsten[?], iij lot of [illeg.] ginger[?], iij lot of parsley seed, j lot of passtram[?], of … xxxiij[?] peppercorns; all this shall be pounded to powder, and under it one shall [?] … … and take good Alsatian[?] wine, or good wine of Alsace[?], and take of it such a quart of the wine, and let it boil down by half[?] to such a [third?]; then it shall be divided into parts[?]. The person shall drink it[?] fasting[?], and shall … twice[?] drink the portion of one [third], and each time whatever he … expels[?] and casts out; this breaks the stone exceedingly much. Also one shall boil watercress[?] and … lukewarm[?], and his body … and to plaster … whatever [hurts?], thus it heals[?].

Item, honey, fat/lard[?], oil[?] and juice[?], of each an equal share[?]: one shall … together[?]; such a salve heals[?] and loosens/lengthens[?] all the damaged veins[?].

[—]

Item, if someone[?] has a lame[?] limb, arm or leg, gone weak/numb[?], as it tends[?] to come, born of the gout, then this written below is a good[?] [remedy] against the stroke/attack[?]. One shall take burnt wine[?] [aqua vitae / brandy], a flask[?] of a pound[?] or more, and into it one shall pound well and fine one lot of good mastic[?], one lot of powder[?] of … small [saffron?]; such powder shall be put into the burnt wine, and it shall be warmed before one moistens [it] gently, or during these days, before the person leaves the bath[?], he shall … up to one hour[?], and then [anoint?] where … the matter is[?], if it hurts him greatly, with the burnt wine … exceedingly[?], so it goes away[?] … so that … which pained him so greatly … and nevermore.

These recipes[?] belonged to / were used by Duke Engel-[brecht?], my gracious[?] and dear lord, who often[?] made use of them.

[—]

Item, for the swelling/bubo[?] one shall take black- berry[?], herb, and plantain[?], and shall boil it with clean water[?] in a new[?] unfired[?] pot[?], very [illeg.] and well. Thus the person shall … the stone[?] from a[?] stone-powder[?] and … below … the limbs[?], and anoint himself[?] well around[?] at the … cannot[?] … the other leg[?] [illeg.], and when it is so soft[?] that one can handle it[?], one shall … of the same water … pour[?] on it, as one takes it[?] afterward, and when lime[?] flows … one shall … another … [alius] … open[?]. One shall also take the small snails[?] [with little houses?], and the … [millipedes?] so hung[?], and other powder … put[?] therein, [ground?] exceedingly fine[?], ½ lot [illeg.].

Another good remedy[?] for the swelling: one shall take [illeg.] and pound it[?] to powder, and take thus … and let it … [steep?], boil it[?]. Then one shall … the limbs that … [ache?], as one handles them[?] … open[?], and when it is roasted[?] … thus one shall … … speak/sprinkle[?] … or … water, one shall … the water upon … lard/fat[?], therein … so it heals[?] very … soon[?].

[—]

Item. After a reading [recipe?], one shall buy and [prepare?] [...]. Item, [for?] [?]: buy for iij [three] hellers [of] frankincense, for iij hellers [?], xxvj or xxxj eggs; so it shall be some ten [approx.] [...]; and one shall boil it well so that it turns blue [...]. It shall be put in an earthen crucible and set upon the coals, and lard (Schmalz) melted around it. [...] linseed oil (Leinöl) from the vial; the [?] shall be pounded; then [?], then frankincense [?] at the last [?]. These pieces shall be put in the linseed oil; then one shall [...] under the [?] the lard. [...] bind with a cloth [...], and smear the salve with a feather onto the woods [wooden pieces?]. One shall also boil oat-straw (Haberstroh) with water [?]; one shall sit and wash. When all the art [process] follows, then this [one] night is lacking [?].

Item, [against?] the [?]: one shall take powder of «engelston» (angel-stone / Engelstein?) and powder of [?], [?] and wrap it in little cloths upon a small [knuckle/roll?]; it shall be put in [wine-]ash, and rub the person with it [...].

[—]

Item. When the woman's matrix (womb) is [swollen/afflicted?] and [she must suffer?], one shall take these pieces [ingredients] written below. Item: galangal (galgan) ij lot, [?] ij lot, of the flower ij lot, [chervil?] j lot, [rock-sugar?] j lot. Of it one shall make a powder and [?], and in the morning eat it upon a [piece?] of bread; it shall be [hidden/mixed?] in a [draught?] of beer (byer), and the powder [...]. This is [well] proven.

Item. Another proven remedy for it: one shall take [branches/rods of the shrub?], that is [?] red roses [struck out] red [?], a handful, and boil it with red wine in a silver [pot]. Then the woman shall sit over it, upon a perforated stool, and cover herself well all around and let the [steam?] rise up from below. And one shall not let it boil too hot, so that the matrix does not burn nor become [inflamed?] [...]. This piece is [truly?] [proven].

[For?] a woman who has a [?] [...]: one shall [?] juice of [?] with [...] wine or beer [...] milk with salt [...]. It may also well [serve?] another woman [...].

[—]

Item. A [proven?] [recipe?] [...] as happens when a woman lies in labor with a child, [so] that the child would not come to the right birth (rechter Geburt): then one shall take a handful of the [?] herbs and make it warm in a [?], and apply it to the secret place (heymeliche stat = the private parts). Then the child at once turns toward the right birth [proven].

Item. If it should happen that a child [wastes/dies?] on someone and dwindles (abnimmt): one shall take a [rough/coarse?] linen cloth and rub with it [...] until it becomes hot. Then one shall take [white?] [?] of [?], and wet a linen cloth in it, and [?] around; when it [dries?], one shall wet it again, as often as is needful; thus it comes back as if [nothing] were lost.

Item. [To set right?] the navel (nabel) when [?] is [loose/swollen?]: one shall take an herb [?] that is [smooth/flat?] as if [it could?] [?]; of it one shall [milk/press out?] [...]; and one shall also let it [cook/steep?] upon [the herb of?] Our Lady («unser lieben Frauen» = Saint Mary's herb?) [...] [proven].

[—]

If a person is possessed/afflicted by the elves (elben), one shall [conjure/exorcise?] them thus… (a description of symptoms and of the patient's family — "mother", "father", "a small man" — reading very uncertain; mentions the sickness that befell them, the veins throughout the body, and the "split" nose). [Second paragraph — the charm/blessing:] "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, amen. By the holy Our Father, by the holy Hail Mary and by the holy Creed that the twelve holy apostles made, therewith and thereby I conjure myself… and all mine and with all the [rest?]… …whether white or red… yellow or of whatever kind… that all… must die[?] on the third day… and the dear lord Saint Job [avail me?]; so I will still [bless/heal?]…"

[—]

…upon a wound (wunden), you shall [shake/cleanse?] it and rub it as long as… (reading uncertain). May it bring the holy Lady [Our Lady]… in her hands… according to the man who bore his end in the holy Lady; the name of Our dear Lady, chastity (keuschheit)… born… [by] all the holy martyrs and all the [believing souls?], soul[s]; and by the Mass that to this person shall be applied as help and in [need]; and by the three nails (iij nail) with which God the Lord was [driven] through hands and feet, and by the crown with which God almighty upon his blessed head [was crowned]… by which God received the honor: that they [must] help me with this person, so that these sicknesses (suchte) be [remitted]… the spirits… mine… God and Saint Job. As truly as this is [true]… amen. This conjuration (beswerong) one shall [say]… in the morning, then a… Our Father [and] Hail Mary.

[—]

If there is a [fistula?/glandular swelling (drusen)?], make [a plaster?] thick and firm; it drives out (vertreibt) the fistula (fistely) and also drives out the… bones[?]… be it inside the person. One shall take the root and leaves of chicory (Wegwarte), the leaves of [celery?] herb, the leaves or hemp seed (Hanf), the leaves or mustard seed (Senf)… well… [sharp?] lettuce (Lattich)… [illegible]… [marigold?]… [valerian?] [red cabbage?]… [fennel?]… which has the red flower… and… that all of it be boiled (siede) in white wine (blanken wein)… …afterwards one shall let it [boil/settle?]… and shall… good… The drink/decoction (Trank) shall be drunk morning and evening. As long as until the drink has [taken effect?]… …with the fistula… one shall [stop/hold?]… …and also constantly… lay the red cabbage[?]… Then one shall take the [worm?/the inner part?], that is, that the leaves upon the… one shall make into powder early and shall take it… [camphor?] one shall [bore?] into a small box (büchse); upon… one shall… the powder, the powder with a feather (Feder)… … blow. So it [heals/avails?] against… [illegible]…

It is proven. See nonetheless, and… (closing note in Latin)

(Grimorium) — BORRADOR Block 1 (child-scryer experiment): "…you shall ask, and at once he will [appear / show himself]; and if he does not appear, [let it be asked] that the boy seek him as above; and if at first he does not appear, be not troubled: perhaps he is detained elsewhere. And say at once to the boy that he [call him?]; if so, let him be, for he will appear on any day whenever he wishes. Do it again another day until he appears; and afterwards ask the petition we want, and he will show all the signs, or [describe] the person according to what he seeks: business, or theft, or what you ask. And note that this experiment must be done on [appointed?] and holy [days], and when the sun is clear and serene; and if that boy does not see nor could see, seek another until you have a good one; and instruct first the one who is trustworthy. And this experiment is perfect and proven."

Block 2 (fever charm): "Before the [city?] gate lay Saint Peter, and over [the stone] the Lord Jesus [Christ] said to him: 'Peter, why do you lie here?' 'Lord, I lie here and suffer badly from fever.' And the Lord Jesus said: 'Rise, Peter, and let it go.' The [fever] being dismissed, Saint Peter at once rose and said: 'Whoever carries this note upon himself, the quotidian fever shall not harm him, nor tertian, nor quartan.' The Lord Jesus said: 'Be it done as you asked.' Prayer: + by the power of God the Father + [by the right hand?] of the Son of God + [by?] Jesus [Christ], amen + Deliver, O Lord, thy servant N. from this quotidian fever or [—] or tertian or quartan, and from all pain of the body, [—] by the passion of the blessed Virgin Mary and of the blessed [—] and of all the saints; God granting it. [Amen. End.]"

(Grimorium) — BORRADOR "Here begins the prologue of the book. Whoever… [would work] with spirits —for such are the effects of the several [arts]— when he has begun some work and wishes to finish it, so that it may reach its effect, let him first provide what is necessary for such a work, and prepare himself in the work itself… It is a praiseworthy and most useful thing that… it be known and confirmed, lest anyone in working be deceived, and that they have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, from whom all good things proceed… He, then, who is to work, must not be deceived; therefore, once what the work requires in its virtue is done, and certain things [impediments] removed, may he obtain it efficaciously —in the best way— through the virtue and invocation of the holy names of God, and through His ineffable [name] and truth, and through [faith], as will be declared below. For if in these experiments he shall have lost their virtue and power, it will afterwards be taught how it may be recovered. Many things have been tried as great and profitable, and on the same day reached their effect; and [others] do not reach it but deceive themselves… and it is better to do [something useful] of a single word… Whence it is said that it is better to do what can do more, for knowledge itself is worth more than written arts… He who is to do this work —which is called the Book of Experiments— must abstain from defiling himself in body, be moderate in food, drink and wine, [avoid idleness?], clothe himself in clean garments on the days of the work he undertakes, and must hear one mass every day."
