Their quotations concerning basic dietetic notions and food products used in Arabo-Persian medicine have been taken into consideration. The second part of this study concerns patients' food, diets and dietetics mentioned in Arabo-Persian writings. According to Arabo-Persian physicians and scientists foods are classified into absolute foods, medicinal foods and food drugs. The use of foods as drugs is illustrated by three examples : fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.), honey and garlic (Allium sativum L.). (Résumé d'auteur) ORSTOM SFE Schröder, E. (ed.)
