"Jean Li�bault (1535-1596), a doctor of medicine and an agronomist born in Dijon, contributed to the emergence of modern gynaecology by rescuing the Hippocratic medical tradition that recognized the specificity of the female body. His main work, a comprehensive treatise devoted to describing and treating the diseases of women, was highly influential in French gynaecology, being published several times. This book presents the semi-diplomatic edition of the only known English version of Li�bault's work. The manuscript, entitled Treatise on the Diseases of Women (MS Hunter 303, pp. 1-958), is housed in the Hunterian Collection at Glasgow University Library. The edition is accompanied by a palaeographic and a codicological study, and a linguistic analysis of the text, offering a primary source for the research of the English language, as well as the history of medicine and women's studies."

Excerpt from Accounts of the Obedientiars of Abingdon Abbey The collection comprises specimens of the accounts of nearly all the principal officers of the abbey from the year 1322 to the year 1479. It is, of course, a mere fragment of what in its entirety would have been an enormous one. No doubt many rolls perished at the dissolution of the abbey, but it is highly probable that the greater number were destroyed from time to time before that event, as being of no value after the accounts had been settled and forgotten.

Excerpt from Treatise on the Diseases of Women: For the Use of Students and Practitioners IN no department of medicine have more rapid and greater strides been made during the present decade than in gynecology. During this period many things new and useful have been added to the science and the art, while much that is both old and new deserves to be forgotten. To preserve and present to the student and practitioner that which his own experience and that of the highest authorities in this country and abroad have demonstrated to be worthy of their confidence, has been the author's aim in the preparation of this edition.
