18004585<p>Single broadsheet 60 x 44.5 cm folded. A very good copy.<br /></p><p>A rare survival of such an ephemeral piece unrecorded on ICCU: a large broadside issued during the nine-month occupation of Rome following the fall of the Roman Republic and proclaiming a complete revision of the running of the city's public market to prevent "hoarders and scalpers" from inflating food prices beyond the means of the "most sensitive" members of the populace during this tumultuous period.</p><p>The edict instructs for example all retailers of vegetables and fruits to arrange contracts exclusively during daylight hours and only under their official banners; any retailers found bringing or intending to bring wholesalers into the marketplace will be considered in contravention of the law. Retailers are also prohibited from forming collective buying groups which lead to 'infamous monopolies'. Further regulations touch on sellers of poultry interactions between retailers and wholesalers and the physical locations of permitted activities. The trades in domestic pigeons and wild game however are exempted from these stringent regulations.<br /><br />The broadsheet also gives details of the enforcement of the new rules. Anyone not complying with the regulations after three days of their posting will suffer the consequences and trials of the accused will take place between 22 and 24 hours and for 1 hour the following morning in the market square itself. The penalties are stiff: for the first offence 25 scudi; for the second 50 scudi and a public beating; while the third warrants a 100 scudi fine and 5 years of public labor. Fines will also be imposed for passing false currency. The edict ends with a stern public hygiene order reminding all retailers of the prohibition of fish-selling in the marketplace. The public is also ordered to make use of the fountains in a civilised manner and not to throw rubbish into the fountain or onto the streets.</p><p>The Piazza Navona became the official market square of Rome in the 15th century and remained so until the 1860s when the site was transferred to the Campo de' Fiori. Produced during a period of tremendous political upheavel the present document provides us with a surprisingly intimate insight into the problems of running such an enormous concern. As the broadside notes the Papal Government had formerly been responsible for the orderly running of the marketplace but in 1798 the short-lived Roman Republic based upon the principles of the French Revolution had seized power and exiled the Pope. According to the document many "abuses" were committed during the "so-called" Republican tenure and indeed the "greed and malice of those who have been able to evade the rules" has led to the need for tighter regulation. Today it complains many dealers hoard more than they sell rendering public markets 'inutili' and driving food prices far higher than they should be in turn affecting the "most sensitive" segment of the population. The present edict was issued under the authority of His Excellency Diego Naselli a Neapolitan commander whose troops had invaded the Republic in September 1799. However by July 3rd seven months after the edict's publication the city was returned to the authority of the Pope.</p><p> Unrecorded in ICCU or OCLC.</p> Lazzarini

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.
