Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.47 - Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2026
"The short alchemical treatises and recipes are mostly in Latin and Middle English, but, unusually for an early 15th-century English manuscript, there are alchemical recipes in a dialect of Old Spanish, perhaps Catalan. These texts, which sometimes include Latin words, appear on ff. 32v, 35r, 50r and 50v. They appear to have been copied by the main scribe. One of the texts is attributed, perhaps spuriously, to the Spanish philosopher and polymath Ramon Llull, although Trinity MS O.2.47 is not recorded in the corpus of manuscripts currently known to preserve his works. Further research on these contents is required."
