Abstract
Being healthy was obviously important in Christianity. Medicine preserved its independence and place for practical reasons in the Christian world throughout the Medieval Ages. Albeit, the Church considered physical health only as a secondary value and preferred essentially mental health instead. In the 16th century, however, at the dawn of the Reformation, the introductions of health advisory and dietetics booklets concerned the preservation of health not only as a necessary precondition, but a value, and even a moral duty of believers. This view is clearly proven by early sources of Hungarian medical vocabulary.
