I love trail running and cycling uphill—just too afraid of the downhill to go pro, so I decided to study medieval medicine instead.

S/he explains why it can be necessary to *induce* vomiting sometimes, & that is when a woman is laboring from a dead fetus in her uterus. The plaster described is to be laid on her belly, & then immediately removed once the fetus is expelled. This circumstance is never mentioned by any male authors!

Thanks! As far as I can remember, there is no information on how the manuscript reached Toledo in "Las traducciones orientales en los manuscritos de la Biblioteca Catedral de Toledo" by Millás Vallicrosa. As I only have BW images, I don't want to speculate about its history
