Synopsis:

This post-incunabula, despite the date of its colophon (25th November 1515) it must have been put on sale at a later date, since some of its typographic details imply that some of its fascicles were printed at some time afterwards, at least after the arrival of Carlos V to Spain in the autumn of 1517. Nothing is known of the translator, presumably a doctor from Tudela, who also translated the Servidor by Albuchasis.

The treatise includes the names and classification of many Spanish plants and explanations of several chemical operations.
