My very old and well-thumbed copy of Culpeper’s Complete Herbal. Good to know that Bilberries will ‘stay the vomitings and loathings’

A belated Christmas present!
“Many call the 15th century codex the world’s most mysterious book. Written in an unknown script by an unknown author, the manuscript has no clearer purpose now than when it was rediscovered in 1912. The manuscript appears and disappears throughout history… The book’s language has eluded decipherment, and its illustrations remain as baffling as they are beautiful.”
- Beineke Rare Book Library

Just acquired this unpublished manuscript by the late Peter Stafford, who wrote the Psychedelics Encyclopedia. It includes profiles of famous psychedelic people and was apparently put together in the hopes of securing a book deal to write profiles of all the names on the cover. (Only those in all caps are actually profiled in this sample.)
Does anyone know anything about digitizing? I'd like to make this more widely available.

Setting up the new @Realitycraft shop with antiques, vintage items and treasures for all of you has been so much fun. There's a few new things coming into the studio and gallery this month that I can't wait to share with you, so here's a mix of what's available now and what's coming soon.

It is not really open science, but I thought especially #GLAM people in the Fediverse would enjoy this conference. So this one is just for you.
The Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) of the Association of College & #ResearchLibraries virtual conference is about "Power, Resistance, and Leadership".
