Notes

Text and commentary are frequently wrongly attributed to Arnaldus de Villanova; text is sometimes attributed to Joannes de Mediolano.--Cf. Cummins, P.W.A critical edition of Le regime tresutile et tresproufitable pour conserver et garder la sante du corps humain. Chapel Hill: UNC Dept. of Romance Languages, 1976., p. x.
One of sixteen editions of French origin, which claims to bear corrections by the doctors of Montpellier, even though the text is virtually identical to its uncorrected predecessors.--Cf. Wickersheimer, E. "Autour de Regime de Salerne," Le Scalpel, v. 105, no. 2, (1952), p. 1507.
Imprint from Goff and colophon.
