[Sca-cooks] humoral theory references in music and lit et al

[Gaylin Walli]

Greetings,

Dame Hauviette d'Anjou and I were asked if we would teach a class on 
humoral theory and feast preparation at Middle Kingdom Coronation, this 
coming September's end. We have numerous references we're working with 
from sources like Galen, Avicenna, the Tacuinum Sanitatis, Hipocrates, 
and others of the same ilk. What we could use help with are references 
in some of the more literary sources, like poems and music, Shakespeare 
(that great scene between Petrucccio and Katharine, perhaps), or other 
such works. Do you know of some? Would you be willing to share? Any 
leads would be helpful here, especially if they're somewhere we've not 
thought of!
