Rare Books
Medieval didactic poem in hexameter verse, claiming to be the creation of the medical school at Salerno, Italy, and promoting a healthy life through a regimen of adequate sleep, a moderate diet, and a peaceful mind.

The Regimen sanitatis Salernitatum and accompanying commentary are often wrongly ascribed to Arnoldus de Villa Nova.
