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.
