CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts
The present text represents pp 115–25 and 235–268. The glossaries at the end of each article have been combined into one in alphabetical order and appended to the text. In some cases common Latin variants of the terms given have been added to facilitate searching. The extracts 1–9 of the second article have been re-numbered and are now in sequence, i.e. 7–15. Wulff's paragraph numbering in article IV was left intact.
Text has been checked and proofread twice. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Corrections to the text made by the editor to the original text are marked corr sic resp="WW". Where the text was imperfect Wulff restored it from Harley 546; these phrases appear in italics in the HTML version. Latin variants and sections are cited in 155 footnotes by Wulff, sometimes profusely. 52 further explanatory footnotes have been added by CELT editor Beatrix Färber.
The electronic text represents the edited text, to which some normalization, marked sup resp="BF", was applied. In the manuscript the first few words of each section were written in capitals, a practice retained by Wulff, but abandoned in the CELT edition. (The images may be compared on the ISOS website.) The headwords in the glossary were changed to lowercase to achieve consistency between Irish, English and Latin terms. Forms of do-ni and do-ci were hyphenated; maillere/maillire was segmented. Missing silent f, and missing internal consonants suppressed in eclipsis were restored, apostrophs were added to d'. In words with a vowel or s- in anlaut, h- and t- were hyphenated off; so was eclipsed n- before a vowel. In the manuscript, long vowels are indicated only rarely and were left unmarked by the editor. The hardcopy uses italics to show expansions, which are infrequent; in the digital text ex tags are used instead. The Irish text contains vernacular plene variants for the proper names Avicenna and Galen (usually abbreviated in other manuscripts) namely Auidseanna/Auidseanda, Gailighen, Ipocraid. The latter form is used here a nominative. Isaac (Israeli), Constantinus and Isidorus are also mentioned.
Quotations are rendered q.
Hyphenation was introduced (see under Normalization.) Soft hyphens are silently removed. Words containing a hard or soft hyphen crossing a page-break or line-break have been placed on the line on which they start. In rare instances of a tagged term of several words crossing a page-break, whether of the edition or the manuscript, the tagged term has been placed before the break.
div0=the whole text; div1=the individual part published in each issue; page-breaks are marked pb n=""/; milestones indicating manuscript foliation are tagged mls unit="MS fo" n=""/.
Dates are standardized in the ISO form yyyy-mm-dd.
Medical, pharmaceutical and botanical terms, many of which are Latin loanwords (or Latin in the disguise of Irish spelling) have been tagged.
This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the part.
Created: Written by an unnamed Irish medical scribe. Date range: c.1400–1499.

THE following six sections are from the RIA MS. 23 P 10, part iii, and are a translation of the portion on the concomitant symptoms of fever ( De Febrium Symptomatibus) in the Rosa Anglica of John of Gaddesden. These items form part of the cure of Tertian Fever. In all mediæval medical books the treatment of disease is divided into the following parts: — caussae, signa, prognostica and curatio. In this particular case, i.e., Tertian Fever, Gaddesden further subdivides curatio into five parts: ‘In curatione febris tertianæ conspiciendum est ad quinque capita. (1) ad digestionem materiæ. (2) ad evacuationem. (3) ad amotionem Dyscrasiæ febrilis. (4) ad accidentia. (6) ad regimen sex rerum non naturalium.’ The fourth of these (‘ad accidentia’) forms our present text. These accidents which are fifteen in all, I will hope to continue in subsequent numbers of Lia Fáil.
The Rosa Anglica was written about 1314 by John of Gaddesden (Johannes Anglicus) who was court physician to Edward II. of England. It was one of the leading text books of medicine in the Middle Ages, though it was never as popular as Bernard of Gordon's work, the Lilium Medicinae. There is another fragmentary copy of this section in the British Museum (now British Library), BL Harl. 546. The Rosa Anglica seems to have been a favourite in Ireland, as various fragmentary copies of the Irish translation exist in MS. in different libraries throughout Ireland and Great Britain, though no complete version has come to light. 23 P 10 is a very beautiful vellum MS., richly illuminated and written in a clear hand with few contractions. It contains a large portion of the Rosa Anglica, 70 pages in all, forming about half of Book I. of the Latin text. The section De Febrium Symptomatibus occupies
In the last number of Lia Fáil I stated that I hoped to complete the concomitant symptoms of fever in a later issue. These are contained in the following nine items, along with the section on the six non-naturals referred to by Gaddesden in the opening words on the cure of Tertian Fever (p. 115, Lia Fáil, no. 3).
The MS. is badly damaged on pp. 19/20, 21 /22 where O'Curry suspects it had been chewed by some animal (a rat?) but a piece has also been deliberately cut out with a knife or a pair of scissors on pp. 19/20. As a good many words are missing on these pages I have supplied them from Brit. Mus. now British Library MS. Harl. 346, in square brackets, and have also added the words of the Latin original in footnotes. The glossary contains such words as were not discussed in that of the last issue (pp. 123–125).
