Sumario:This article aims at contributing to the history of the transmission of the Circa instans in England. Taking form and content as two important linking criteria among the extant Middle English exemplars of this well-known medieval medical work, we offer here a classification and description of the different text-types and English versions of the treatise that have been identified so far. This study intends to give some insight into individual manuscript appearance and status in order to provide the reader with the necessary point of departure that will later allow for further and more detailed analyses of the relationships among the copies, such as for the future establishment of possible genealogical relations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
