(seq. 8)

As recognized, these pages are all considered to be some kind of recipe. For this recipe, it calls for aqua (water) with opthalmia. After looking up the term 'opthalmia,' this word is actually ophthalmia. Ophthalmia is a term relating to the eyes, which is any condition such as pink eye. Considering this is a recipe book, this may be a recipe for eyedrops! Much of this recipe explains that one must first take water with ammonium and potentially boil it in the sun for seven days, which is expressed in the text. As for the sun, letting the water/ammonium mixture "bole" (could mean boil) in its UV rays could lead to some sort of reaction that could kill off the bacteria present within the infected eye.
R: for aqua Bryona Compound, I looked up what this meant, to find out this bryona compound could actually be bryonia. Bryonia is a plant/herb that is a homeopathic remedy used to be treated for headaches, muscle pain, cold or flu symptoms, cough, nausea, and constipation. With that being said, this recipe involves something having to do with the plant bryonia. Many of the ingredients used in this section include rad and/or root in latin, valerian (known for calming effects), and pennyroyal (herb close to mint). These ingredients are essential to the text because if they are all used to a medicinal way, they must have some sort of benefit regarding this recipe. Again, as we move through the recipe it continues using beneficial types of herbs/ingredients (rue, feverfew, mugwort, lovage). At the end, it explains using two gallons and half to possibly distill the mixture then using the other half of the mixture to add it elsewhere.
R: for aqua cinnamon- this recipe/treatment calls for mixing water with cinnamon for beneficial use. This piece of the text was a little harder to interpret, due to the cursive writing being light, and having more squiggles rather than true words an individual could read. When looking up what cortex cinnamon was, this refers to the bark of the cinnamon tree, which has also been used for many medicinal treatments. Cinnamon can also be anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Towards the end of this recipe, it seems as if the substance is possibly being left out for 2 days, then using 3 gallons of the recipe first then again taking the 4th gallon moderately and drawing it.
