[English translation] Electuary for those who are ruptured below or opening into the groin. Take 6 ounces of the root of greater comfrey, cleaned and mashed, 1 ½ ounces each of cypress nuts and myrtle, ½ ounce each of Greek pitch, gum arabic and tragacanth, 1 ounce each of Armenian red clay and dragon's blood gum, 5 drams of mastic, 2 ounces of mummy and 3 lb. of cleaned honey. Make all of the above things into very fine powder and incorporate them with the honey and put in a little rabbit skin, cut very finely, and boil these and incorporate on a slow fire, stirring continuously with a ladle so it does not stick to the bottom. When it has body enough to be in the form of an electuary, remove it from the fire and save it in a vessel for your needs. When you want to use it for one sick with a rupture, give the amount of a nut in the evening when he goes to sleep and in the morning ½ hour before he arises. Give not less than a nut but rather more, especially in the morning. This will aid you greatly in curing. Do not stop wearing the truss with the plaster on and watch carefully how you live and be careful of all the other things described above, if you wish to be cured soon. Another electuary for this rupture, which is very perfect and good. Take the heart, skin and fur of a rabbit. Dry everything, cut it and make fine powder of it, in all 8 ounces, and 1 lb. of rind of pomegranate or wild pomegranate, ½ lb. of cypress nuts, 3 ounces of myrtle, 4 laurel berries, all in very fine powder, 30 heads of leeks and 10 dry white figs. Cut the leeks and figs finely and grind them well in a mortar with 2 ounces of mastic oil. Take 3 jugs of the best red wine that you can find and put it in a clean pot and put it on the fire. When it begins to boil, put in the above powder, little by little, and continue stirring. Lastly add the oil and let it boil very slowly so it does not start to smoke. Boiling it on the grill is better, until it reduces in half. Remove it from the fire and it will be made. Save it in a vessel for your needs. When you give it to the sick patient who has a rupture, give 2 spoonfuls early in the morning and if he is not able to take it because it is too sour, give it in the form of a pine nut rolled in flour and do not take it any other way. Then take 2 more spoonfuls and heat this well and rub the place of the rupture. Then put on some warm cloths and then wrap with a belt of fustian which should be firm and tight. Do this in the evening when he goes to sleep and in the morning give him some of this electuary to eat. Continue this for a month or more. Keep yourself from all those things that are adverse. Know that with good care and primarily with the grace of God, you will be cured. Make another as you have made this electuary and continue until the rupture is cured. The herb ground pine put on the rupture cures it. Take 1 handful of the herb ground pine and put it in a little sack of linen cloth and put it on the rupture and bind it on tightly with a belt of fustian. This is done so it does not burn the flesh through its warmth. Continue this method for a month and stay in repose as much as you can. Refrain from things that are adverse and that make you sick. Before you make this medicament, first say a mass over the linen sack and over the herb in honor of God and of Saint Antimo whose day is the 20th of May. He is found in the list of martyred saints, which see. Change the herb every morning and you will be cured. *Electuary for rupture. Take 4 lb. of clean honey and put therein to boil 6 ounces of roots of greater and lesser comfrey. Boil them very slowly until they are cooked as shown when a drop on marble stays firm.

First put in the herbs, then the roots, the mastic and the mummy and let it boil a little. Then put in the cinnamon and cloves and remove it from the fire. Put in the sugar and stir until it is cold and it will be made, the perfect electuary. Give a dose in the evening and the morning and you will help the poultice work. With good care you will be cured in 30 days. It has been tested. ---------- [Italian transcript] Lattovario a quelli che sono crepati abasso overo sbochiati sopra’l petignone.
