From the Foreword: "In this volume two hundred and fourteen manuscripts have been catalogued. The descriptive portions of this work are of great historical importance. The maladies mentioned in them, and the treatment or management of the maladies described in the manuscripts reveal many strands of medical speculation, in which theology, philosophy, biology, physiology, and botany are remarkably blended. Even the non-specialist reader would consider this volume interesting and instructive."
