Francesco Perono Cacciafoco, Food as Therapy. Elements of the History of Nutrition in Ancient Greece and Rome, International University of Pollenzo - UNISG, Teatro Vocali Edizioni (Collana "Fiori di Cactus" N. 11, ISSN 2240-7782), Castellazzo Bormida 2012
The book discusses the theme of the History of Nutrition and Dietetics in Ancient Greece and Rome, in the ambit of the study of the History of Greek and Roman Medicine, and is structured as an essay that follows the development of the Greek and Roman Medicine from the formation of the first 'nucleus' of the "Corpus Hippocraticum" to the works of Galen of Pergamon, marking the close interconnection and interdependence between Greek and Roman Medicine. Each theoretical section inherent in the History of Literature and in the History of Science (in particular the parts dedicated to the Hippocratic writings and to the treatises of Galen of Pergamon) is combined with a corresponding anthological section that collects the most important texts related to Dietetics and Diet-therapy taken from the same above mentioned works. The book is also an exhaustive discussion regarding Dietetics and Diet-therapy in the Ancient World.
