I've been through maybe 75%  and from what I've read, it's quite interesting. Lots of recipes, philosophy, alchemical processes ...

Just for curiosity, can you read the rest of the line "scrpto secreto: Wann ..." about 1/3 down on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.? between "Ex manu" and "sterilitas" on the right margin?

All the best, --stolfi

The best I can come up with, combining a couple of different models is this:

Latin/German Text:
"Salbe Membrum Virile mit dem Safft von Satyrion V[er]mitt[els]
dem oll[eo]. be[streich]. Macht d[as] die Vnfruchtbaren entfachen [v...]
[Aufgemehret?] ist gwaltig. Ex manu
scripto secreto:
Wann du 6 ʒ Satyrion recht stost u[nd] auf d[en] Rugg[en]
bindest, so ist es gwis: Wann du an ein [Bett] [gehst/steigest]
[vermagst] darin 3. Mal. ex libro eodem"

English Translation:
"Anoint the Male Member with the juice of Satyrion [Orchid] mixed with
the oil. Smear it... [This] Makes the barren women kindle/inflame [with desire/fertility]...
...it is powerful. From a
secret manuscript:
When you pound 6 drachms [approx. 23g] of Satyrion correctly and bind it upon the Back,
then it is guaranteed: When you [climb] into a [Bed],
[you are capable] therein 3 times. From the same book."


I'm not claiming complete accuracy here, but it is at least plausible. There's quite a few pages where he says something like "I got this from a book of secrets"
