De los comeres e beveres convenientes al sennor arçobispo ssegunt los tienpos del anno e costunbre e hedat: Dietary prescriptions for Pedro (of Toledo), Archbishop of Seville (ca. 1381)

Abstract

Around 1381 Estéfano, a physician in the service of the archbishop of Seville Pedro de Toledo (often identified as Pedro Gómez Barroso), wrote a treatise entitled Libro de visitaçione e conssiliaçione medicarum. This work studies the third “consiliatorio” of the first part of the book, which is actually a regimen sanitatis, dealing with the appropriate food (food and drink) to keep the health of a character belonging to the ecclesiastical elites of late 14^th century.
