THE MEDICINAL GARDEN
A third case difficult to settle is the apparent displacement
of the Medicinal Garden (fig. 62). It lies in the northeastern
corner of the monastery site, but is out of line with
the protruding outhouses and hypocaust flues of the
Novitiate and the Infirmary. It was the last installation to
be drawn on the sheet containing all the buildings lying
to the east of the Church. I can explain its peculiar position
only by the assumption that the copyist lost space through
an accumulation of small irregularities, as he drew the last
row of buildings near the right-hand edge of sheet 4 in the
sequence, House for Bloodletting, House of the Physicians,
Medicinal Garden.
