During the Middle Ages, the Islamic world was the most important means of difussion of classical Greek science. The Tacuinum Sanitatis written by the Persian Ibn ButÄl¯an (5th A. H. / 11th A. D. century), summarizes the contents of the Hippocratic texts from the fifth and the fourth centuries B.C. These texts give importance to the diet as a balance between man and his environment and food and physical exercises. The Tacuinum sanitatis was composed using an innovative presentation of contents in synoptic tables, which had earlier been used in the field of Astronomy. These tables recommend a practice and preventive medicine to the people of the Middle Ages.
