It is available in Fac-simile, and has been digitalized and made public at

Use the search engine and look for 'bastiment' or 'receptes'. The edition they
have dates from 1552. It deals mostly with perfumes, medication, and there's
also a 'joke remedies' section in rhymes.

The text is a bit hard to read, and at times illegible. I printed a copy but
haven't taken the time to read through it entirely yet.
