[Corona Florida etc.] The principal work of Gazius (1449-1528), an Italian physician who acquired considerable fame and fortune in his profession. A guide to healthy living, dealing with such topics as sleep, exercise, sex, hygiene and drugs. Essentially, however, it is a treatise on diet with an emphasis on the qualities and properties of a great number of foods (including their cooking and preparation.) There is a great deal about drinking, drinks and especially wines. Although this was a popular rather than scholarly work, it does synthesize little known Jewish and Arabic teachings about food with more common western texts. "Important Traité de Diététique et d'hygiène d'un célèbre médecin de Padoue qui connaissant et aimait le vin. Les chapitres 42 à 63 sont consacrés au choix des aliments et des boissons. L'auteur consacre une importante partie de son ouvrage au vin, à l'art de boire, et à une étude approfondie de la soif humaine" (Simon, Bibl. Bacchica 283)
