[English translation]

Best and perfect unguent for a rash.
Take 2 lb. of ordinary oil, 6 ounces of new wax, 2 ounces of strong white vinegar, 8 ounces of washed turpentine, 1 ounce each of laurel oil and salt, 2 ounces of white sublimate, 6 ounces of rock alum, 1 lb. of white lead, 4 ounces of Alexandrian clay, 6 ounces each of yellow sulfur, butter and yellow litharge and the yolks of 4 fresh eggs. Take the oil, the vinegar, the wax and the turpentine and put them in your ladle or bowl and put it on the glowing coals without flame and leave these to melt well but then at once stir with your spatula and do not let them boil. Then remove it from the fire and do not return it. Put in all the other things very finely powdered, beginning with the rock alum, salt, white lead, clay, sublimate, sulfur, butter, litharge and the yolks go in last. One by one incorporate them well with your stick until when you put in the last thing it should be cold and everything should be incorporated equally and with great diligence. At the end put in a little rose water and it will be made, unguent for itch, best and perfect for every requirement and wherever it is needed. All the rash will be gone if, in the evening when you go to sleep, you rub the wrists carefully and the joints of the arms, hands and legs. Do this for 3 or 4 evenings. Then wash all your body and you will remove all the greasy scabs. Change your clothes and all the rash will be gone and you will remain clean and clear. But first of all you must be careful what you eat. Do not eat pork meat which is contrary to health at this time.
Do not be surprised that I have given you the procedure, weight and measure for a large amount. In our shop in Lucca I keep about 7 or 8 pounds of it, putting it in jars for 9 to 12
quatrini
each, according to the size. Each little container cures one or two persons quickly. It is very true that one can make it without a few of the ingredients and it will do almost the same if more is put on the rash.

Another for rash.
Take 1 lb. of ordinary oil, 3 ounces of white wine or rose water and put them in a pot on a slow fire and boil it very slowly. Take 4 ounces of white sulfur and wrap it in a little cloth and make a button of it and boil it in this oil until it is reduced one third. Then remove it from the fire and strain it at once and put therein these things, warm: 3 ounces of white wax, 4 ounces of finely ground white lead and ½ ounce of liquid storax and continue to stir until it is cold so that everything is well incorporated together. If it does not seem sufficiently white to you, add another bit of white lead with ½ ounce of salt ground like flour. Then at the end wash it with rose water and you will have a very fine and elegant unguent. With that rub carefully in the evening and soon you will cure. This has been done many times.

Another for rash.
Take 1 lb. of white wine, 2 ounces of vinegar, 3 ounces of white sulfur, 1 dram of liquid storax, and 2 ounces each of rose water and clean wax and if the rash may be oily add these: ½ ounce of laurel oil, 2 ounces of turpentine, and ½ dram of myrrh. Incorporate all these things in a little pan or in a little pot on a slow fire and continue stirring until it is done. Remove it from the fire and stir until it is cold and it will be made, an admirable unguent. Save it like powder. When you go to sleep, use it to rub yourself carefully and, through God's grace you will soon return to health. It is tested.

Another to remove a rash.
Take liquid storax and wash it with rose water and then incorporate it with the juice of lemons and pomade. Rub the rash and soon it will go away. This is something elegant and tested.... 65
