The Casanatense Theatrum Sanitatis is a richly illuminated summary translation into Latin of the Tables of Health by Ibn Buṭlān, a medical treatise on maintaining good health based on six principles. Made in the late fourteenth-century in northern Italy, it contains 208 large-scale, vivid, and lively miniatures depicting medicinal plants, the preparation of medicine, and scenes from daily life. One of the earliest illustrated copies of the Theatrum Sanitatis, it is thought to have been commissioned by Giangaleazzo Visconti, Count of Milan, from the workshop of Giovannino de' Grassi.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
