Medical almanac collection
Born from ancient and medieval traditions the almanac became one of the most common household books after the bible. These texts often contained a calendar, lunar cycles, tidal tables, weather forecasts, optimal times for farming and planting, holidays or church festivals, astrological guides to medicine or bloodletting, and various other chronological information for specialized audiences. This large collection spanning 109 volumes of charming nineteenth century medical almanacs includes discussions of various ailments and their treatments, general information about health and wellbeing, and advertisements, many of which are heavily illustrated.
