Tacuinum Sanitatis
Medieval handbook on health and wellbeing
Tacuinum Sanitatis
The Taccuinum Sanitatis is a medieval handbook mainly on health aimed at a cultured lay audience. Originally an 11th-century Arab medical treatise composed by Ibn Butlan of Baghdad under the name of Taqwīm aṣ‑Ṣiḥḥa (Arabic: تقويم الصحة, lit. 'Tabular Register of Health'), in the West, the work is known by the Latinized name taken by its translations: Tacuinum (sometimes Taccuinum) Sanitatis. The text exists in several variant Latin versions, the manuscripts of which are profusely illustrated. Numerous European versions were made in increasing numbers in the 14th and 15th centuries.
