Juggling life, liberty and happiness

Gabelkover, Oswald: Artzneybuch, Tübingen 1589 [VD16 G 15]

A doctor's book for treating various types of wounds. Starts with basic head wounds and covers the rest. Its rather long at 1000+ pages, haven't discovered if there are pictures or if its just mainly text.

Ains Ersamen Raths der Stadt Augspurg Hochzeitordnung, [Augsburg] 1540 [VD16 A 4110]

Wedding ordinances for Augsburg, 1540. Lots of regulations about the food that can be served, dancing and social class regulations.

Des Radts der Alten Stadt Magdeburgk Ordnung vbern Ehebruch, Gelübdn, Wirdschafften, vnd Kleidung, Magdeburgk 1544 [VD16 M 137]
Ordinances from Magdeburg, 1544, the ones relating to clothing start on page 30 and the women's on page 34

Is it somewhat scary that I can actually read and understand this text, but can't make heads or tails out of the Zwei Schuaben book?

Bambergische Halßgerichts-ordnung, Bamberg 1507 [VD16 B 256]
Court book from Bamberg, 1507. I believe its a book detailing the punishments for each crime. Its handwritten and the calligraphy is clear and beautiful, but very readable. Its got some really nice color scenes depicting the court and only one slightly gory one towards the end.
