Title: Tacuinum Sanitatis, Theriac

Caption: Nature: Warm and dry. Optimum: The kind that frees the rooster from poison and has been aged for ten years. Usefulness: Good against poisons and both cold and warm illnesses. Dangers: When it is over ten years old it causes insomnia. Neutralization of the Dangers: With cooling substances such as barley-water. It is primarily good for cold temperaments, for old people, in Winter, in cold regions and, if necessary, anywhere else. 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. From the Tacuinum of Vienna, 14th century.
