Treatise on humoral pathology first published in 1561. "It was thought that good health was maintained by a proper mixture of the elements, qualities, and humors which were often referred to collectively as the complexion. It was the composition of the individual's complexion that determined their physical and mental temperament, the diseases to which they might be subject, and the rules to which they should adhere in order to preserve their health"--Heirs of Hippocrates 258 (1564 edition in Italian). Durling 2769 (this edition).
