A Byzantine physician, Anthime, or Anthimus, is regarded both as the author of the first dietary treatise of our era and as the author of the only Merovingian cookery book. It is in fact one and the same work, De observatione ciborum.

This culinary and dietary treatise is published in French for the first time by Ysec Éditions.

Anthime holds a fairly radical view of dietetics, one that disregards all the factors already advanced in his era (and even more so today) for living a healthy life, such as dietary balance, physical exercise, and also human nature, age, location and climate, the influence of the stars, the seasons and the winds. For him, the only thing that matters is food and its preparation. He is particularly vigilant about proper cooking, for digestion — which alone ensures good health — depends entirely upon it.
