Description

The authors explore in detail the efforts made by men and women in late Renaissance Italy to stay healthy and prolong their lives. Drawing on a wide variety of sources - ranging from cheap healthy living guides in the vernacular to personal letters conduct literature, household inventories, and surviving images and objects - they demonstrate that a sophisticated culture of prevention was being developed in 16th-century Italian cities.
