I just posted four pages about the medical poem of Salerno (Regimen Sanitatis 
Salernitanum):

This is an 11th century Latin medical mnemonic verse, as translated into 
English in 1608 by Sir John Harington, the inventor of the toilet ("The 
Metamorphosis of Ajax"). His translation - to which I've added some notes - 
is quite funny. This was a book I read about in an old history of medicine in 
my father's medical library when I was a kid, and I just got hold of a 
reprint of it from an old book auction online.
