[English translation] Electuary for epilepsy. Take nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, long pepper and white pepper, marjoram and betony, each ½ ounce, 1 ounce of peony root, 1 ½ ounces each of fine sugar and fine theriac. Make powder of everything and put all together and make an electuary as usual. Compound it with clean honey sufficient to incorporate and give this electuary in the amount of a hazel nut for six days in a row, thereafter freely, and especially at the time when the patient starts to feel dizzy as epilepsy or other cerebral changes come on, he should begin the electuary before and after and he will be cured quickly. Another tested remedy for epilepsy. Bring the epileptic and the father and mother and take them to the church on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and there they hear all the mass and also on Sunday and then at the end of the mass the priest binds on the epileptic's head the gospel precept on which is written, 'This kind of demon will not be cast out except by prayer and fasting,' and soon it will cure the mad and demonized epileptic. This is very true. And he should carry near him the names of these 3 kings: '+ Caspar brought myrrh +, Melchior brought incense +, Balthasar brought gold, +' and do this on Thursday or on Sunday and say over him the Mass of the Three Kings and offer on the altar coins of 3 kinds. The note should be kept under the Bible. Do not ever go without this and you will not suffer from epilepsy, that is from the falling sickness. Do these things and do not be negligent. Another for the falling sickness, the best remedy that can be made. If the patient is a man, take 3 pieces of the head of a dead man, and if a woman from a woman, who does not have epilepsy, and grind them finely. Then take 4 ounces of peony water or sage water and a spoonful of this powder and incorporate them and give it lukewarm to the patient to drink in the form of a syrup for 2 months continually, more or less, according to how you see improvement. Then the patient should take care of his way of living and life and in a short time, with the aid of God, soon he will be cured of this infirmity, because this has often been tested. Another for epilepsy. Take the herb dragon root or its seed or root or some of its berries and some of its juice and give it to the patient to drink several times and he will see the effect. Then take some peony root, gathered during the half-moon in autumn and also some of its seed gathered in the waning moon and make very fine powder of all. Take some of the powder you have made above from the head of a man or a woman and also take some fur of a white dog and cut it very finely and blend everything together. Give the sick one a spoonful of this powder in broth or in soup or in any way as long as he takes it and, with the aid of God, shortly you will see him cured. See that he does not know the composition of the powder so that he more willingly will take it and, through the faith that he has to be cured, he will be cured without fail. Also when you are at mass, always say the Pater Noster when the priest says it. When the patient falls, say the Pater Noster in his ear and at once he will get up and be able to walk. Again when one falls to the earth, say these words in his ear, viz: 'The spirit is indeed strong, however the flesh is weak,' and at once he will get up and walk, for these facts are certain and tested many times by men of faith. Another for epilepsy. Take one branch of the herb that is mistletoe that grows on the pear tree or on the tree that has apples and is large and make the branch square and 4 fingers or less in length. Write on the first face '+ Jesus Maria +' , on the second 'Gaspar +', on the third 'Balthasar +' and on the fourth 'Melchior +' and put it on the altar and say over it these 4 masses, first of the Holy Spirit, of the Epiphany, of Saint Bertinus and of the 5 wounds of Jesus Christ, and fasten it around the neck of the patient with a new ribbon with 5 Pater Noster, kneeling, and 3 other Pater Noster for the 3 Nails and when you attach it you say 'I touch the bone of the neck' and leave this on. Another, an electuary for epilepsy. Take 1 pound of red sugar and 6 ounces of flowers of ivy gathered during the half moon, and grind them in a way that makes the sugar rosy and put it in the sun in a clean, covered vessel for one month. Then give the patient one spoonful in the morning and he will not fall as much. ---------- [Italian transcript] Lattuario per il mal caducho.
