Description
Commentary by Robert Whytt on the Institutiones Medicae in usus annuae exercitationes domesticos of Hermann Boerhaave (1668-1738): commencing from para.235 [incomplete] 'Unde igitur clare cernimus...' to para.694 'Ex quibus omnibus...'. The main text was completed in 1747 according to a note [f.655r.] but expanded on inserted slips during the period to 1762.
Several of these inserts are on complete or fragmentary letters to Whytt.
The commentary was continued, according to a final note [f. 655v.] but the subsequent part is absent.
