This post-incunabula despite the date of its colophon (25th November 1515) it must have been put on sale at a later date, since some of its typographic details imply that some of its fascicles were printed at some time afterwards, at least after the arrival of Carlos V to Spain in the autumn of 1517.

Nothing is known of the translator, presumably a doctor from Tudela, who also translated the Servidor by Albuchasis.

The treatise includes the names and classification of many Spanish plants and explanations of several chemical operations.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
