Analysis of Content
a2r Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum. Collectio Salernitana, ed. S. De Renzis, 5 vols (Naples, 1857-9), V 1-104 (after the nine lines of the prohemium, only extracts that alternate with the commentary); A. Sinno and S. Visco, Regimen Sanitatis. Flos medicinae Scholae Salerni (Salerno, 1941), 1-572; see Henkel, Schultexte, 292-6 at 294.
a2r Arnoldus de Villa Nova [pseudo-: Commentary]. Incipit: ‘Iste est libellus editus a doctoribus Salerniensibus in quo inscribuntur multa et diuersa pro conseruatione sanitatis humane, et editus est iste liber ad usum regis Anglie . . .’ The commentary follows after every few lines of the text. The ‘Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum' and accompanying commentary are often wrongly ascribed to Arnoldus de Villa Nova: see Pierre Aquilon, Region Centre, Catalogues régionaux des incunables des bibliothèques publiques de France, 10 (Paris, 1991), no. 570, with reference.
o8v Arnoldus de Villa Nova: Regimen sanitatis ad regem Aragonum. ‘De conseruatione corporis seu de regimine sanitatis.’ Incipit: ‘[P]rima pars vel consideratio sanitatis conseruande pertinet aeris electioni . . .’ See Thorndike–Kibre 1095; Wickersheimer I 45-99, and Juan A. Paniagua, Estudios y notas sobre Arnau de Vilanova (Madrid, 1963), 21-2.
