Anonymous (Late Middle English scribe)

Public domain

Incomplete late-medieval English scroll with medicinal recipes on the recto and charms on the verso, including a charm of Susanna against worms, festers and gout; it is cited in Don C. Skemer's Binding Words: Textual Amulets in the Middle Ages (2010). Unique manuscript: a handwritten codex held in the Wellcome Library's Western Manuscripts collection, so no second copy of this particular text-witness exists. Digitized by the Wellcome Collection and released under its Public Domain Mark.
