Theatrum Sanitatis
by GRASSI, Giovannino de', Manuscript (Ms. 4182)
The text of this manuscript is attributed to the Arabic doctor Ububchasym de Baldach. It can be classified as a Tacuinum sanitatis, that is a medical manual. The text is illustrated by 208 miniatures arranged on both the recto and verso of each leaf. The miniatures are attributed to the school of Giovannino de’ Grassi. They are particularly interesting for the architecture of the houses and shops, and for the landscapes that act as backgrounds to the scenes of daily life.
The scene on folio 157 represents fishing.
