- Johannes de Gaddesden, Rosa Anglica (excerpt)
- Scope & Content:
- Johannes de Gaddesden, Rosa Anglica, excerpt. Incipit: 'Regimen sanitatis est triplex .i.e. ataid / tri gneithe'. This is an extract from an anonymous Irish translation of the Rosa Anglica by John of Gaddesden. The excerpt is taken from the beginning of the section devoted to the stomach. Another copy of the text in Additional MS 15582 (f. 8r), edited in H. Cameron Gillies, Regimen sanitatis. The rule of health. A Gaelic medical manuscript of the early sixteenth century or perhaps older from the vade mecum of the famous Macbeaths physicians to the Lords of the Isles and the Kings of Scotland for several centuries (Glasgow, 1911). For the Irish translation, see Wulff 1929. For John of Gaddesden, see R. Sharpe, A Handlist of the Latin Writers of Great Britain and Ireland before 1540 (Turnhout, 1997; Publications of the Journal of Medieval Latin, 1), pp. 252-53; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; and M. H. Green, 'John of Gaddesden', in Medieval Science, Technology, and Medicine. An Encyclopedia, ed. T. Glick, S. J. Livesey and F. Wallis (New York and London, 2005), p. 288. For copies of the original Latin text of the Rosa Anglica, see Additional MS 33996 (ff. 148r-210v; imperfect), and Sloane MSS 134 (ff. 48r-169r), 280 (ff. 9r-262r), 1067 (ff. 1r-280v) and 1612 (ff. 125r-340v). The first printed edition of the original Latin text was published by Nicolaus Scyllacius in Pavia in 1492. Also includes obits of the Desmond Fitzgeralds on f. 57, ending with Gerald Fitzgerald, 15th earl of Desmond, 1583 (ff. 57r-57v), and obits of the Barrys, ending with James Barry, 1609 (f. 57v).
