    Summary note
    "Early modern dietaries are prose texts recommending the best way to maintain physical and psychological well-being. This title 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 the 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."-- Provided by publisher.
