APICIUS COELIUS
Footnotes
A very good copy of this classic cookbook, containing a collection of almost 500 Roman recipes which range from flamingo to stuffed dormouse. Earlier editions went under the name De re coquinaria and the work is sometimes also attributed to Marcus Gavius Apicius, the famed epicure who flourished during the reign of Tiberius early in the first century AD. The present Gryphius edition was printed shortly after the Basel edition of the same year, both being the work of the Swiss scholar Alban Thorer. He included a printing of Platina's De honesta voluptate et valetudine, and other works such as the Byzantine physician Paulus Aegineta's work on health and diet.
Provenance: Etienne Récamier, bookplate ("Bibliothèque Lyonnaise 1858-1893").
