Entitled: "Nature: Warm in the second degree, humid in the first. Optimum: Those that are long and dark. Usefulness: They increase sperm and make the body less subject to swellings. Dangers: They cause occlusions of the veins. Neutralization of the Dangers: Stewed twice and eaten with very fat meats." The Tacuinum Sanitatis is a medieval handbook based on the Taqwim as-sihhah, an 11th century Arab medical treatise by Ibn Butlan of Baghdad. Listing its contents organically rather than alphabetically, it sets forth the six essential elements for well-being: sufficient food and drink in moderation, fresh air, alternations of activity and rest, alternations of sleep and wakefulness, secretions and excretions of humours, and finally the effects of states of mind. In addition to its importance for the study of medieval medicine, the Tacuinum is also of interest in the study of agriculture, cooking and society. Each scene is accompanied by a brief summary of the health aspects of the subject. From the Tacuinum of Paris, 14th century.
