A lot of early modern recipe books are eclectic compilations that reflect the interests or needs of the people who compiled them. Often they do not even separate between cookery and medical recipes but include a mixture of both. Two examples of such eclectic recipe books in the Folger’s collection are V.a.140 and X.d.469.فني ثلاجات

V.a.140 was compiled in about 1600. It contains about seventy medical recipes (including over a dozen against the plague), as well as some remedies to treat an ill horse, various recipes to make ink of different colors, copies of two longer medical treatises, two letters, and a few assorted non-medical recipes: to keep roses fresh, to make a dog bark at you, to make chickens lay eggs during the winter, among others. X.d.469 is dated ca. 1625 and is mostly medical remedies, written in haphazard order, followed seamlessly by a shorter section of recipes for marzipan, comfits, pastes, preserves, candied flowers, and other sweetmeats.صيانة ثلاجات

What the two manuscripts have in common—beyond a marked interest in remedies against widespread early modern ailments, such as kidney stones, eye diseases, and, of course, the plague—is a shared source: the Book of sovereign medicines against the most common and known diseases, attributed to John Feckenham (circa 1510-1584), the last abbot of Westminster. Several copies of this manuscript survive, including Folger MS V.b.129. It was probably originally compiled for the use of English Benedictine monks and nuns.
