Health and Well Being: A Medieval Guide by Andrew Forbes, David Henley, Daniel Henley
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 10 MB
Overview: The Tacuinum Sanitatis is a medieval handbook on Health and Well Being. First printed in Europe in 1531, it was aimed at an educated secular readership and offered concise and sensible advice on how to live a long, healthy and enjoyable life.
Four handsomely illustrated manuscripts of the Tacuinum survive, all produced in Lombardy and now housed, respectively, at libraries in Rome, Vienna, Paris and Liège.
The Latin text describes in detail the beneficial and harmful properties of plants and foodstuffs, as well as considering social, physiological and psychological aspects of wellness. Following established medieval principles, it sets forth six essential elements for mental and physical well-being:
Genre: Non-Fiction > Health, Fitness & Self-help
Sufficient food and drink in moderation
The importance of fresh air
Regular alternating periods of activity and rest
Regular alternating patterns of sleep and wakefulness
Maintaing balance of the Humours or Four Temperaments
Positive and Negative effects of states of mind
The Tacuinum hypothesises that Illness results from imbalance of these elements, therefore a healthy life should be lived in harmony.
Interestingly, the Medieval European Tacuinum is based on an earlier Arabic work, the Taqwim al‑sihha تقويم الصحة or ‘Maintenance of Health', an eleventh-century Arab medical treatise by Ibn Butlan, a Christian physician of the Abbasid Period who practiced in 11th century Baghdad. Ibn Butlan‘s Maintenance of Health deals with matters of hygiene, dietetics, and exercise, emphasizing the benefits of regular attention to personal physical and mental well-being.
