Abstract
THIS work is a fifteenth century medico-astrological treatise written in Eastern North Low Saxon by a certain Albrecht van Borgunnien, about whom nothing further is known. Almost the whole text, which consists of a prologue and remedies for various diseases, appears to be founded on a methodical leech book which contained charms of a popular character and various medico-astrological treatises.
