Item cedrus et iuniperus easdem habent virtutes et utilitates; sed quemadmodum ex cupressu et pinu resina, ex cedro oleum quod cedrium dicitur, nascitur, quo reliquae res cum sunt unctae, uti etiam libri, a tineis et carie non laeduntur.
And so the works which are executed from these kinds of trees endure an unlimited time. Cedar and juniper, also, have the same virtues and advantages. Just as resin comes from cypress and pine, so from cedar comes the oil which is called oil of cedar. When other things, as, for example, books, are soaked with this, they escape injury from worms and dry rot.
