Rosa Cubo, Cristina de la, "Un ejemplo de enciclopedia médica medieval de la Real Biblioteca de El Escorial (ms. M II.17)", dins: Martínez Gázquez, José - Cruz Palma, Óscar de la - Ferrero Hernández, Cándida (eds.), Estudios de latín medieval hispánico: actas del V Congreso internacional de latín medieval hispánico (Barcelona, 7-10 de septiembre de 2009), Florència, SISMEL - Edizioni del Galluzzo (Millennio Medievale, 92), 2011, pp. 509-520.

Resum
The codex no. M II 17 at the Escorial Library was written in XVth c., and counts a total of 176 fol. It is a miscellaneous manuscript which consists of various treatises. One of them is the encyclopaedic work titled Summa Medicinae, which has been claimed to be written by Arnau de Vilanova, among other works dated in the same period of time. This work feeds on some writings preferably attached to the Medical Studium of Montpellier, though it does not scorn to feed from the sources for other encyclopaedic compositions that came to light outside the walls bordering this Faculty.
