- This single-authored monograph (288 pages) represents the first in-depth study of early-modern European dietary manuals and guides to health and long life. It explores the interaction of medical ideas with changing societal views, including social rank, religion, vegetarianism, and beverage consumption. The product of five years' work, it is based on the systematic analysis of over 150 separate treatises, published in Latin and all of the vernacular languages of Europe, over a period of 300 years.
