[SIR EDWIN SANDYS (1561-1629) Statesman & Treasurer of the Virginia Company] - MANUSCRIPT MEDICAL & COOKERY RECEIPTS: A volume of upwards of 300 very detailed receipts in various hands; at the commencement of the 55th-page the volume being inscribed "Hear begins my Lady Sandys her receipts". There follows a further 136-pages of receipts; all these and those in the first section are fully indexed at end. Following "my Lady Sandys" receipts are a further 16-pages of receipts ; the volume is thus comprised of three sections. Many of the receipts in the first give their source, e.g. "My Lady de la fountaine", "Dr. Diodati" [Theodore Diodati 1574-1651?], "goodwife Cutt", "Sr Ric. ffords lady", "Sr William Ryders Lady", "Mr Lawrence the apothecary", "My Lady Waterman", "My Lady Anderson", "Mr Rogers had it from old Dr. Rugely", "Aunt Frances", "Mrs Robinson the midwife", "Mrs Lewes of Putney" etc. Only a few give their source in the "Lady Sandys" section, e.g. "My Cousen Sam Sandys", "Mary Spencer", & "Sir Theodore Mayherne" [1573-1655; physician] etc. The medical receipts include "To kill wild fire", "A water for the consumption and surfeit, alias the admirable and most famous snaile water"," The great plague water", "A gentle purge to be taken at any time without dainger. Good to free the liver from obstructions and stoping of the cause of most diseases in women, good against the dropsy and green sicknes, good for an ague after the third fitt, all writers call Rhubarb the life of the liver", "A most excellent anti Pestilentiall cordiall", "A powder to clear the heart and to drive Malencholly from the vital spirits about the heart....which is the mother of most diseases", "The great mistry in nature that Maxemilian the Emperor sent to his sister of Spaine", "Lucatellos Balsam","A writ for a madd dogg" [9 words to be "written upon any thinge the dog will eat"], "This balme cures all wounds through the flesh, all scaldings, heat or burne with the fier", "A receipt for the Gripes or Purgin.......it cured sister Kitty" and "Doctor Carays receipt for consumsion.....this cured my sister Pen" etc. The culinary receipts include "conserve of Cowslips", "Currant Wyne", "To make a lettis pie with a pudding in it", "To make a pudding about a Carpe", "To make flesh jelly", "To boyle larks in broath" etc. Closely written on 212-pages, small 4to, old leather boards now detached, lacking backstrip; first few leaves detached. Approximately 60% of the receipts are medicinal. *Circumstantial evidence within indicates, perhaps, that "my Lady Sandys" is the wife of Sir Edwin Sandys (1561-1629) the Jacobean statesman, member of the Council for Virginia 1607, and Treasurer of the Virginia Company 1619-20; perhaps his 4th wife Catherine (b.1583) whom he married c. 1604 and who bore him 12 children. There are references to "My cousen Sam Sandys" [his 2nd cousin Samuel (d.1651) ?], to "Aunt Frances" [his father, Edwin (1519-1585) Archbishop of York's sister ?], "Mary Spencer" [his daughter Mary who married Richard Spencer ?] and, in the 3rd section, perhaps a continuation by his daughters, references to "sister Kitty" & "sister Pen"[ his children Catherine and Penelope?]. The volume is however undated and only further research may positively establish a connection.
