First Edition, xiv,[ii],123,[3],[2],324pp., part II has a separate title-page, pagination and register, without endpaper, cont. calf, rubbed, hinges cracked. "The preface is signed 'Arabella Atkyns', which the B.M. catalogue says is a pseudonym. In it she states that the medical portion, which is much larger than the cookery, is taken from a common-place book of her brother who was a physician. It may be mentioned that she is the first lady who apologizes for her boldness in venturing to treat certain maladies which a lady would hardly be expected ti include. The cookery part is well arranged, the medical part is full of horrors. The treatment for appendicitis is to 'apply a live puppy to the naked belly' and follow up with a cataplasm of rotten apples or of 'sheeps-dung boil'd with milk'."?Oxford, English Cookery Books. Oxford, p.71; Maclean, p.49; Bitting, p.550; Cagle, 673; Pennell, p.150; Simon, 658.

1664ABC_50496Amsterdam 1664. Oblong 8vo. Hieronymus Sweerts Contemporary vellum sewn on 2 supports laced through the joints. With an engraved frontispiece and 32 engraved plates 1 folding 31 full-page. 96 pp. Rare first edition of one the finest and most extensively illustrated early works on culinary carving describing and illustrating refined techniques the order of serving and the handling of various foods including poultry hare rabbit pork veal lamb mutton venison ham lobster fish artichokes and both sweet and savoury pastries. The plates illustrate a variety of carving methods and include a large folding plate depicting forks and carving knives. The work predates Joseph Moxons well-known deck of cards with illustrated carving instructions by thirteen years.The frontispiece depicts a gentleman at table attended by a servant carving a fowl in the Italian manner holding it aloft on a fork and carving it in mid-air for display. As noted by the anonymous author in the preface this method was not customary in the Netherlands. Accordingly the work addresses both this practice and the more conventional technique of carving on a platter. Hieronymous Sweerts 1629-1696 was a printer bookseller and poet from Amsterdam who was trained at the printing office of his uncle Paulus Aertsz. van Ravesteyn. He established his own press in 1664 and printed a wide variety of works including Bibles poetry fables and separate prints. The present work was published anonymously but one WorldCat description of the present edition says that Sweerts signed the preface "H. Sw." suggesting he might be the author of the work or at least the preface. However in all copies we have seen including the present the preface is unsigned.The vellum is soiled and somewhat stained with a small split at the spine and at the bottom of the front board. The leaves and plates are somewhat foxed and occasionally stained. Otherwise in good condition.l Bibliotheca Gastronomica 6508 4 copies; Bitting p. 530; Ferro 81a; Horn-Arndt 114; Landwehr Ned.

In this reasoning I had the will to satisfy not only the curiosity of some amateur of the grateful and generous Wines of Cyprus giving the rules to list them but also to be able to improve the Cultivation the Manufacture and the Conservation of our Tuscan Wines and particularly to improve the quality of the wines produced there using the support from the genius of our Farmers"</p><p>More in details he starts addressing the issue of the poor resistance of Tuscan wines to navigation deepening the observations already published in the first volume of his "Travels in Cyprus". Mariti studying grapes and winemaking processes in use in Cyprus gives an account of the island's wines distinguishing them by types based on the quality of the grapes the length of the aging process and their conservation and also giving data and figures relating to the sale of the product both in the East and in the West.</p><p>Mariti dedicated this essay on the wines of Cyprus to Lord Clavering whose arms are engraved at the top of the first leaf of the dedication. The preliminary leaves also include an account of the <em>Accademia dei Georgofili</em> devoted to the study of agriculture which was founded in Florence in 1753 and is still active today.</p><p>Giovanni Filippo Mariti 1736 –1806 he was an Italian antiquarian scientist and historian. Intellectual with multiple interests he became famous in Europe mainly for his travels in the East.</p><p>Mariti became interested since his youth in natural sciences cultivating botany and especially agronomy studies and in 1772 he became a corresponding member of the <em>Accademia dei Georgofili</em> founded in Florence on July 4 1753 by Ubaldo Montelatici under the impulse of that renewal of agriculture that the Habsburgs-Lorraine hoped for and promoted to remedy the problems that arose in their lands starting from the first decade of the second half of the century regarding crops and food supplies.</p><p>Mariti lived for seven years at Larnaca in Cyprus becoming honorary British vice-consul and became increasingly familiar with the wine-making process of the island. A shortened version of this treatise was included in the French translation of his "Travels in the Levant".</p><p>Beside <em>Del Vino di Cipro</em> he is remembered for the treatise titled <em>Della Robbia sua coltivazione suoi usi</em> Florence 1776 dedicated by Mariti to the Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo concerning a plant the <em>Robbia</em> Madder cultivated in the East and used for the colouring of clothes which Mariti hoped to introduce in Europe and for <em>Odeporico o sia itinerario per le colline pisane</em> which was published in Florence in two volumes between 1797 and 1799.</p><p>The first volume of this work which remained partly unpublished deals with the agricultural history of the Tuscan hills the second is dedicated to the history of the water bath today Casciana Terme. The two volumes are divided into chapters that take the form of letters written to an imaginary friend.</p><p>George Clavering-Cowper 3rd Earl Cowper 1739 - 1789 was an English nobleman and politician. In 1780 he purchased Villa Palmieri in Fiesole with a splendid view of Florence. Skilled diplomat and politician he decided to obtain prestige by turning a blind eye on the relationship that his wife had established with the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo from which he managed to obtain the title of Prince of Nassau d'Auverquerque.</p><p>The art collection that Count Cowper built during his years in Florence was a great investment of time and money for him.

[S.l.], [S.n.], [fine dei XVIII sec. - primi del XIX secolo], manoscritto su carta, anonimo, in-4, legatura coeva in mezza pelle (spellature al dorso, evidenti consunzioni alla cartonatura dei piatti), tagli rossi, carte [196]. Il volume è composto da un testo principale - intitolato Koch Buch - steso da una sola mano, probabilmente alla fine del Settecento, composto dalle prime 160 carte, contenente circa 450 ricette gastronomiche divise in molti sezioni/capitoli - fra le quali segnaliamo: von unterschiedlichen Suppen (di varie zuppe); vom Kindfleisch (della carne per i bimbi); vom Voressen (del pasto); von Wursteln (delle salsicce); von Pasteten (delle torte); von Soossen und Bruhen (di salse e brodi); vom Gebratenen (del fritto); von Mandeln (delle mandorle); von allerhand Kochen (di tutti i tipi di cucina); von Torteln (delle torte); von allerhand Muss (di ogni tipo di mosto); von Sastenspeisen (dei succhi di frutta); von Milchen (dei latti). Il testo vero e proprio riempie le prime 146 carte ed è seguito da 14 carte recanti l'indice delle ricette. Seguono 23 carte stese da un'altra mano, probabilmente in epoca di poco successiva recanti altre ricette gastronomiche. Chiudono il volume 13 carte lasciate bianche (2 recano degli scarabocchi a matita). Il manoscritto principale (Koch Buch) reca una paginazione manoscritta coeva - pp. [2], da 1 a 238, da 243 a 282, da 287 a 297, [1] + [28 di indice]- che suggerisce la mancanza di 4 carte (8 pagine). L'interno è ben conservato, salvo la presenza di alcuni fascicoli sciolti.
