Resum
Wellcome MS 749-13, the text of which is transcribed here, contains over 100 medical receipts (recipes) copied by an unknown author from a manuscript written by Sir Walter Raleigh. Th e receipts cover a wide range of diseases and utilise herbal, zoological and geological simples as well as alchemically processed preparations (e.g. Laudanum Paracelsi, Saccharum Saturni). Amongst the receipts are several which Raleigh claims to have invented himself-the Great Cordiall and a purging medicine. Th e text of the manuscript also reveals some insights into Raleigh's own medical conditions and his experience in treating others.
