Description
Princes and powerful figures learned the rules of hygiene of the rational medicine of the late Middle Ages on the Tacuinum Sanitatis.
It concerns the six elements necessary for maintaining one’s daily health: food and drink, air, movement and rest, sleep and wakefulness, secretions and excretions, changes and states of mind.
Each page features a miniature and a legend stating its nature, characteristics of what is deemed to be better or preferable for human health, the benefit it offers, any adverse effects it may have and the remedy for such adverse effects.

M. Moleiro Editor, S.A.
M. Moleiro is the most prestigious company in the world specialized in the reproduction of codices, maps and works of art usually made on parchment between the 8th and 16th centuries in the form of illuminated books. The techniques employed in reproducing the codices, combined with the wisdom and skilled craftsmanship of our trade, enable us to remain very faithful to the original. Bound in leather tanned using the methods of years past and reproduced on special, hand-made paper; our codices reproduce all the nuances of the paintings, parchment, gold and silver leaf etc. A M. Moleiro codex is, therefore, more than a facsimile book, it is an exact replica, a “First, unique and unrepeatable edition”. To date we have created exact replicas of bibliographic gems belonging to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Bibliothèque nationale de France, The British Library, National Library of Russia, Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo, The Morgan Library & Museum... Our editions are unique and unrepeatable and limited to 987 copies individually numbered and accompanied by a notary’s statement confirming their exclusive nature. Each “First, unique and unrepeatable edition” is protected by a leather case and accompanied by a commentary volume written by experts in medieval history, the history of art, codicology and other pertinent areas enabling the illuminated manuscripts to be fully understood.
