VI. has been corrected to Sect. V. to match the table of contents. ○ In SECT. VI. on page 118 there is a reference to the authors description of the skin in Lect. I., Sect. VII. The discussion of the skin is actually in Lect. I., Sect. IX. on page 40. ○ There are two SECT. VIII. in LECTURE I. They have been left with geh duplicate number. ○ The “recipes” for various medicines are numbered somewhat sequentially with Roman numerals across all Lessons and Sections. However there are “recipes” with duplicate numbers (XXII appears three times in Section V of Lect. IV.) and some recipe numbers are missing altogether. ○ Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected. ○ Typographical errors were silently corrected. ○ Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book. ○ Text that was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_).
