“Live in rooms full of light. Avoid heavy food. Be moderate in the drinking of wine. Take massage, baths, exercise, and gymnastics. Fight insomnia with gentle rocking or the sound of running water. Change surroundings and take long journeys. Strictly avoid frightening ideas. Indulge in cheerful conversation and amusements. Listen to music.”

― Aulus Cornelius Celsus, De Medicina

 

This early, rare edition of Celsus’s ‘De Medicina’ was printed in Lyon in 1554. This famous medical book is considered one of the earliest reliable sources on pharmaceuticals and diet as it pertains to healthy living. Celsus lived in the 1^st-century BC and is remembered solely for this work and the legacy it has left. This edition also uniquely includes the works of other medical writers from antiquity including Serenus Sammonicus and Remmius Flavianus.
