There is a transcript of the 'Secreta', taken from the printed version found with Averrhoes 'De venenis' [Bologna. c. 1497-1500], in Sudhoff's 'Archiv' Vol. IX, pp. 104-106. The 'Directorium' mainly deals with pharmacy, and may possibly be a student's notes of an introductory lecture to a course on the practice of medicine.
