Early modern dietaries are prose texts recommending the best way to
maintain physical and psychological well-being. Three
sixteenth-century dietaries contains Thomas Elyot's Castle of
Health, Andrew Boorde's Compendious Regiment and William Bullein's
Government of Health, all popular and influential works that were
typical of a genre advising the reader on how best to maintain
physical and psychological health. They are here introduced,
contextualized and edited for the first time in a modern spelling
edition. Introductory material explores the dietary genre, its
relationship to humanism, humoral theory, and the wide range of
authorities with which the dietary authors engaged. The volume
includes an examination of the bibliographical and publication
history of each work, comprehensive explanatory notes and
appendices that provide prefaces to earlier editions, a glossary,
and a list of authorities and works cited or alluded to in the
dietaries. -- .
