174364781-V6-1Leyden: S. Luchtmans 1743. Half perkament. 4to. Gegraveerde titelprent 'J. Punt inv. et fecit 1742'. 1469 4 pp. plus uitvouwbare platen. - Ruggen en platten wat geschaafd en iets vlekkig hoeken wat gebutst knepen iets los binnenwerk her en der iets vochtvlekkig de marges wat krap afgesneden. Compleet met 80 genummerde uitvouwbare platen plus een ongenummerde uitvouwbare kaart tussen pp. 1326 en 1327 De uitklapbare gegraveerde platen illustreren het proces van het distilleren de kunst van het meten en de huischemie. Onder de S vindt men ook de "Geheimen" waaronder waterwaarzeggerij hoe goud uit vergulde lijsten te halen en de "geheimen van Hippocrates". Andere gravures tonen tuinontwerpen planten en zelfs een ontwerp voor een open haard. De meeste van de tachtig uitvouwbare gegraveerde platen illustreren echter het vangen van vogels vissen en dieren - niet alleen konijnen en hazen maar ook wolven en vossen allemaal met behulp van een grote verscheidenheid aan vallen en ingewikkelde machines. De tekst geeft vooral advies over het houden en verzorgen van huisdieren de bijenteelt en het kappen van bomen. Het Huishoudelijk woordboek is ook een kookboek met veel recepten voor maaltijden en huismedicijnen al doet de titel dat niet vermoeden en ook tips en trucs om je schoonheid en gezondheid te behouden. Het bleef gedurende de 18e eeuw erg populair in heel Europa en ook in Japan waar de Nederlandse vertaling veel in gebruik was. Het werd begin 19e eeuw zelfs in het Japans vertaald. S.

174362PDQWR6XH4WLeyden S. Luchtmans; 1743. 4to. Amsterdam H. Uytwerf Half calf ribbed spine with red morocco title labels mottled boards. With an engraved allegorical frontispiece by Jan Punt 1711-1779 and 80 engraved folding plates by F. de Bakker. 2 volumes. 8 616; 2 617-1496 4 pp. The first Dutch edition of the most popular domestic encyclopaedia of agriculture and house-keeping of the 18th century written by Noël Chomel 1632-1712 a French agronomist entrusted with the domestic management of the possessions of the abbey at Vincennes where he acquired all the knowledge necessary for a rural exploitation. The work was translated into Dutch and edited and enlarged by Jan Lodewyk Schuer who published the Groot algemeen historisch geographisch genealogisch en oordeelkundig woordboek 1733 and by Arnoldus Henricus Westerhoff or Westerhovius rector of the Latin school in Gouda and publisher of the Algemeen kunstwoordenboek der wetenschappen 1734. Westerhoff died while editing the work and his work was taken over by an anonymous editor.The book was published in parts five for the first volume and five for the second. It is enriched with at least 80 folding plates some made especially for the Dutch edition. The folding engraved plates illustrate the process of distilling the art of measuring and domestic chemistry. Under the S one also finds the "Secrets" which include water divination how to extract gold from gilt frames and the "secrets of Hippocrates". Other engravings depict garden designs plants and even a design for a fireplace. Most of the eighty folding engraved plates however illustrate the catching of birds fish and animals - not only rabbits and hares but also wolves and foxes all by means of a wide variety of traps and complicated machines. The text gives mostly advice on the keeping and care of domestic animals on beekeeping and on the cutting of trees. The Huishoudelyk woordboek is also a cookbook with many recipes for meals and home medicines although the title doesn't suggest that and also tips and tricks for keeping one's beauty and health. It remained very popular through the 18th century all through Europe and also in Japan where the Dutch translation was much in use. It was even translated into Japanese in the early 19th century.Good copy; spinw slightly worn.l Bibliotheca gastronomica 1073; BMN p. 169; Ferro incorrect imprint; Goodman Dutch impact on Japan pp. 129-130; Landwehr Het Nederlandse kookboek 29; Van der Sijs Verantwoording van de digitale uitgave van het Huishoudelijk woordboek door Noël Chomel via DBNL.
