Dr Winifred Wulff (1895-1946) first published this edition of an Irish manuscript from 1352 in 1934. It is the only Irish gynaecological tract that has been published so far, and it is based on a version of the famous Trotula. The TEI-XML conformant electronic edition contains encoding for medical terms. It is fully searchable, contributing to our knowledge of the evolution of Irish medical terminology. Up-to-date bibliographical details have been added.
