The Medieval Health Handbook - Tacuinum Sanitatas
By Luisa Cogliati Arano
Published by Barrie & Jenkins: London 1976 1st Edition In This Format

"The Taccuinum Sanitatis is a medieval handbook mainly on health aimed at a cultured lay audience. The text exists in several variant Latin versions, the manuscripts of which are profusely illustrated. "Neither religious nor scientific motives could explain the incentive to create such an image; only a cultured lay audience [...] could have commissioned and then perused these delightful pages." Numerous European versions were made in increasing numbers in the 14th and 15th centuries."

Includes sleeve with light wear only. A few age spots to the glossy endpapers otherwise the book presents very well. No marks or inscriptions. Very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
