| Note 1 | Medical manual giving a systematic approach to a number of diseases. Each disease is treated in four pages; on the first page are enumerated the characteristics of the illness; on a double page is described in the form of a table the treatment; on the 4th page are detailed the medicaments. |
| Note 2 | No details are given in the dedicatory letter and in the prayer at the end of the work about the life and the training of the author. He only rarely tells about experiences in the 'North' (Northern England? Scotland?), and and is rather fiendish towards Paracelsus and the new tendencies in medicine. |
| Note 3 | Listed in M 296, folio 14v (Praxis medicine Theor[ica] et Emp[irica] Gualterii Bruele, 1579, f[euilles] 49, [price:] stuivers 20). |
