the medical community, but the cultural preservation of printed work and the overall preservation process, especially with the importance this poem gave to the medical community centuries before. By 1224, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II made it required that any student wishing to practice and learn Medicine in the Naples Kingdom had to gain approval from the Salerno medical masters, which also help preserve the printed of the poem's verses, as they became a requirement to Southern Italian students and subjects. Quotes Why should a man die who has sage in his garden? (Latin: Cur moriatur homo, cui salvia crescit in horto?). Cf. Contra vim mortis non crescit herba in hortis. Si tibi deficiant medici, medici tibi fiant Haec tria: mens laeta, requies, moderata diaeta (Latin text). Use three physicions still; first Doctor Quiet, Next Doctor Merry-man and Doctor Dyet (Harington's translation, 1608). If doctors fail you, let these three be doctors for you: A joyful mind, rest, and a moderate diet.
