This account by Professor Rosenberg of a twelfth century medical treatise by Bruno of Longoburgo is based on some notes made by the editor of California and Western Medicine during a visit to one of his friends in Cincinnati, Judge Alfred K. Nippert, Dr. Otto H. F. Vollbehr, who is mentioned therein as the donor, recently sold a collection of fifteenth century books to the United States Library of Congress for the sum of one million and a half dollars. That collection contains the famous Benedictine Monastery St. Paul (Carinthia, Austria), copy of the Gutenberg Bible, which is a forty-two line Bible, printed by Johann Gensfleisch zu Gutenberg himself, the world renowned German inventor of the art of printing.
