Apicius. Caelii Apitii...De re culinaria libri decem. B. Platinae Cremonensis De tuenda valetudine, Natura rerum & Popin by B. Platinae

1700. Early reprint of Apicius. Probably the most valuable volume in my two collections. Crahan 3. Vicaire 31. Bitting 13. Simon 123. Purchased July 2008 from dealer Elsbeth Heinrich Scarsdale NY. Previous owner dealer Carleton Pytell Pelham NY. Fifth edition of this collection of receipts from the late Roman period, and the first cookery book to be printed - it first appeared in Milan in 1498. This is the second edition of Alban Thorer's recension of Apicius; it was first published at Basel show more in the same year as the present edition. Adams A1300; Vicaire 31; Bitting p.11; Simon BG 123. show less

Von der ehrlichen, ziemlichen, auch erlaubten wolust des Leibs by Bartolomeo Platina

This is a facsimile of of a German publication of De Honesta voluptate published in Augsburg in 1542. It is a paper box containing the introduction to the edition (32 pages, paper) and the edition itself LXV bound in leather). I own no 146 but I have no idea how many were printed.
