Tacuini sanitatis

Ibn Butlan · 1531 · Argentorati : Joannem Schottum · 43 pictures

Tacuini sanitatis is a 1531 Latin health handbook printed at Strasbourg by Johann Schott, based on the medical treatise of Ibn Butlan and meant for physicians and learned readers. Its woodcuts show rows of foods, dishes, sweets and fruits labelled with Latin names, a useful model for arranging still-life specimens in a tidy catalogue layout.
