It is known that the recipes of therapeutics and materia medica have been preserved in a parallel way by practice, which has never ceased, in the Receptaries and other Latin treatises; these treatises, translated from the Greek during the period of the Roman Empire, and compiled in the first and second centuries, passed from hand to hand, and were copied frequently during the earlier portions of the Middle Ages.

Although one of the rules of the genre of the receptary, like that of the traditional cookery book, was that editorial comment be severely restricted, many recipes begin or end with a simple statement of their marvellous power […]

1999, Richard Gordon, “Imagining Greek and Roman Magic”, in Witchcraft and Magic in Europe: Ancient Greece and Rome, London: Athlone, p:

Incantations were passed on from receptary to receptary, with little difference between the learned and the popular.

The defectiveness of the clone becomes progrssively manifest both in the maturative and the proliferative activity of the progeny, which expands due to a still unexplained biological cause. It is conceivable that the combined proliferative and maturative defects alone may result in a decreased cell loss and may cause the progressive over-growth of the defective clone.
