[Sca-cooks] Constantinus Africanus on food and diet, was ...

[emilio szabo]

Speaking of Constantinus Africanus: at BIUM, two 16th century printed collections of his works are available for download.


Among them is the 1536 edition, which Delany used for his translation of 'De coitu' (299ss.).

Looking at the chapter headings, it seems to me, that there is also plenty of stuff on diet, nutrition and food for the sick.
