HTR Transcription of pages from MS.4338 (Wellcome Collection)

This small dataset in English in a late 17th century hand contains the transcription of 5 pages from MS.4338 (1680) of the Wellcome Collection. It was created as part of TranscriboQuest 2025. The manuscript used to create the dataset was compiled by Lady Johanna St. John (1631-1705). She was a country lady of Lydiard Park in England, who compiled medical recipes, detailing ingredients, weights, and instructions to cure and treat many illnesses that could affect family members and her wider community, such as green sickness, rabies and sciatica. The images used in the transcription came from the digital version online hosted by the Wellcome Collection.本英文数据集源自17世纪晚期手写手稿，包含威康收藏馆（Wellcome Collection）编号MS.4338（1680年藏品）中5页内容的转录文本，该数据集为TranscriboQuest 2025项目的组成部分。 用于构建本数据集的手稿由约翰娜·圣约翰夫人（Lady Johanna St. John，1631-1705）编纂。她身为英国莱迪亚德帕克（Lydiard Park）的乡村贵族夫人，生前编纂了诸多医疗配方，详细记录了药剂原料、用量及操作指引，用于治愈与调理可波及其家人及周边社群的多种病症，例如绿色贫血（green sickness）、狂犬病（rabies）与坐骨神经痛（sciatica）。 本次转录所使用的图像素材，源自威康收藏馆（Wellcome Collection）在线发布的数字馆藏版本。
