Plague water is one of the more striking entries in a now worn but finely bound volume of cookery and medical recipes sold recently in London.
Accomplished in several hands, a 134pp manuscript sold for £9000 by Forum Auctions (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) as part of its March 28 auction would appear to have been started by a Mrs Sarah Jackson in 1688 and continued by others until 1755.
