Lectures given by Linnaeus on nosology, or the classification of diseases between November 1741 and April 1742.
Some classes of diseases are missing. The last 10 pages do not exactly correspond to the order in the manuscript 'Systema morborum' (LM/LP/MED/1/3/2). Some of the corrections in this latter manuscript appear in this one, indicating that the lecture notes post-date the bound manuscript.
