Where it came from
Originally delivered as a discourse in Florence in 1743 by the Italian physician Antonio Cocchi, this text was translated and published in London by R. Dodsley in 1745. Cocchi was a prominent intellectual and medical authority of the Enlightenment, and his work sought to bridge classical philosophical traditions—specifically the vegetarian tenets attributed to Pythagoras—with the emerging empirical practices of 18th-century medicine.
The text stands as an early landmark in the literature of plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine. Cocchi argued that a diet primarily composed of vegetables was not merely a moral or philosophical preference, but a physiological necessity for the preservation of health and the remediation of chronic ailments. The publication reflects the 18th-century fascination with the dietary habits of antiquity and the period's growing scientific interest in the relationship between diet, climate, and human longevity.
