Bjornsson, Thorleif. 1475 An Icelandic medical manuscript tr. by Larsen 1931, who writes, p. 23. Of course these facts do not prove that the Thorleif of the Icelandic records and the Thorleif of our mss. are one and the same. However, until the opposite is proved, it is a fair conjecture. The linguistic peculiarities show Icelandic scribes of the fifteenth century working on the basis of Norwegian originals. We have... one section named the leechbook of Thorleif Bjornsson, we have found a contemporary man of consequence, an Icelander by birth and heritage but with strong contacts with Norway and with a particular intellectual centre, the Munkeliv monastery, Bergen. We have embodied in the mss. a section, the Book of Simples, [the section quoted in this text] that clearly goes back to a west Norwegian Medical Book... It would seem probable that the volume was compiled by Icelandic scribes who used material already available in Iceland and also additional medical works secured by or for Thorleif Bjornsson in Norway through the aid of the monks of Munkeliv... 261 The source of the information in the Herbarium [Book of Simples] is ascribed to Henrik Harpestraeng, physician of the Danish King, who is identical with the Maistre Henry de Danemarche, who studied and practiced medicine in Orleans, France in 1181, and with Magister Henricus Dacus, author of the learned latin treatise, Liber de simplici medicina laxativa, or Dosis M.H. Daci, and with the canon of Roskilde, Magister Henricus Harpestraeng who died in 1244... For [the Book of Simples] Herbarium of Harpestraeng, the sources have been fully established by M. Kristensen... to be Macer Floridus... not only is Macer Floridus used, but every chapter of Macer has contributed... Practically all chapters that do not go back to Macer are derived from the 11 th. century Salernitan work De Gradibus Simplicum by Constantinus Africanus... the principal source of Macer. Rhode 1922:42 writes: The vast majority of the herbal mss. of the fifteenth century in England are merely transcriptions of Macers Herbal. So the Icelandic medical mss. quoted in this text is based on the popular knowledge of the use of plants current in Europe from the eleventh to the sixteenth centuries but written for Scandanavians.
