Second edition of a popular work on preventative medicine. By Maino de Maineri, master of the University of Paris and physician to King Robert the Bruce and the Visconti rulers of Milan, it is a ‘medical discourse relating, among other things, to hygiene with regard to age, sex and climate, during illness, convalescence, and epidemics [...] At least eleven editions were issued before 1550’ (Stillwell). Magninus also discusses the mental health benefits of physical exercise, food groups, music, reading and friendships in addition to physical treatments including cupping, bloodletting and other remedies.
