Section:

Medical recipes and remedies in Ladino from an extensive chain of joins that suggest the existence of a broader compilation. On the recto there are ingredients such as "pepenikos amargos / bitter cucumbers" and "azeite / oil" (l. 1, 3r). The second entry on the recto is crossed out, which may provide evidence that the author or scribe was drafting and correcting recipes among this broader chain of joins. The verso's first entry mentions a "white dove / poloma bilanca" (l. 5v) and "azeite" is called for again in the lower recipe, which is crossed out. MCD.

Medical recipes and remedies in Ladino from an extensive chain of joins that suggest the existence of a broader compilation. On the recto there are ingredients and/or components such as a "wick / קאנדיל" (l. 5r) and below that there is mention of "pearl" and "coral" (l. 8r). On the verso, one entry is dedicated "para kurar la kabesa / for curing the head" and "sesame oil / טאחינה" may be in use. Further down on the verso, olive oil is also mentioned as an ingredient.

Medical recipes and remedies in Ladino and Hebrew. The recto contains two entries and in the second the writer switches from Hebrew completely into Ladino. The first entry mentions the use of "fire/אש" (l.2r, 4r) in the recipe includes the direction to "make a cake/עשה עוגה" (l.3r). Before switching into Ladino, the second entry on the recto mentions the use of "spring water/ מיים מן המעין" (l.10-11r) and there is also mention of "the sun/השמש" which is faintly legible along one of the fragment's lower tears (l.11r). Further down in Ladino there is mention of angels with "אנג׳ילו" and "אנג׳יל" (l.13r). On the verso all recipe entries are in Ladino and the penultimate one refers to an "infant/קירייאטורה" (l.) in the same unique spelling as the join ENA 2713.17. MCD.

Medical recipes and remedies in Ladino. On the recto the ingredients and recepticles include "asucar/sugar" (l.10r) and "vasya de laton" (l.14r), also written as "vasya de alaton" (l.12r), which could indicate a container made of a copper-zinc alloy whose yellow-gold color points to the word's etymology in Turkish "altın/gold" (information from the Diccionario de la lengua española – Real Academia Española). On the verso "limones" (l.1v) are mentioned as well as "ash/seniza" (l.6v). MCD.

Medical recipes and remedies in Ladino. The first recipe on the recto is for "tremor of the hands/ el temlor delas manos" (l. 1r) and the final section of the page is dedicated to an issue related to the mouth aches of infants "para una kiriyatura qe___[?] mal de boka" (l.18-19r). This latter phrase could be a reference to the pain associated with teething. One ingredient in use for the tremor of the hands is "olive oil/אזייטי די אוליבה" (l. 5r) and usage of a "magnet / קאלאמיטה" is also mentioned (l.2r). For the mouth aches of infants, the recipe mentions "leche/ ליג׳י". Among the other ingredients listed for the recipes on the recto are "white pepper/pimyenta bilanca" (l.9-10r) and "cinnamon/kanela" (l.10r). On the verso, olive oil is mentioned again as recipe ingredient (l.3v). MCD. For a full transcription of this fragment see Idan Perez's in FGP.
