Summary
This appendix shows remedies from Bald's Leechbook in parallel with their probable Latin sources (those portions directly incorporated into the Old English text are given in bold). More information on these texts can be found in the introduction. Citations follow those used in the body of the text, except the passages from the Latin Alexander, which are taken from Angers, Bibliothèque Municipale MS 457. For these transcriptions I am indebted to David Langslow, who very kindly shared them with me at an early stage of his work towards the first critical edition of the Latin Alexander; the translations are my own. For more information on the Greek original of this text and its manuscript tradition, see Langslow, The Latin Alexander.
