17692211Frohburg 1769. Manuscript on paper 186 x 160 mm. 47 leaves plus two blanks. Fraktur & cursive script. Illustrated with 11 pages ff. 41v-46v of weaving patterns. No visible watermarks. Leaves 2-8 with remnants of red wax adhesive. Some soiling and staining. Contemporary half calf sheep the boards covered in very crude comb-marbled paper worn. An 18th-century weaver's manuscript recipe book and collection of weaving patterns containing over eighty recipes for dyes and twenty-one weaving patterns. The manuscript appears to be in one hand. An addition is dated 1789. The versos of the first six text leaves have small blobs of red wax along the foremargins apparently the remains of an adhesive: the text implies that color samples were affixed in those places. The Gottlob Friedrich Rose for whom the recipes and patterns were recorded was presumably an apprentice or offspring of the weaver. Each recipe contains a heading in Fraktur identifying the color and detailed instructions for its preparation including quantity in cursive script. The many recipes for shades of grays greens blacks and browns give a snapshot view of the street scene on cold dark winter days; but at least as many reds greens blues violets yellows and shades of gold and silver enliven the scene. Gradations of color and varieties of textile bases account for the quantity of different recipes: thus scarlet-red differs from red-scarlet madder-red Krapp-roth carmine-red English madder-red red on linen rose-red and rose-red on wool. Gold-yellow olive-green English-black flesh-color Leib-Farb wood-blue violet-brown.together these colors evoke a pre-industrial world of local self-sufficiency. The weaving patterns with names of popular weaves like "Everlastin" sic are for looms with different numbers of shafts vier-schäftige sechs-schäftige zehn-schäftige etc. Frohburg is a small town located midway between Leipzig and Chemnitz. Before industrialization weaving was its most important local industry. Architectural evidence of the craft subsists today in a few traditional artisans' houses in which the ground floor contains the workshop or weaving room and the upper floor the living and sleeping areas cf.

1700K8L0EZ7PGV23The Netherlands 1700. Large agenda 8vo 20.5 x 12 cm. Recased ca. 1720 in its own original ca. 1700 blind-tooled parchment sewn on 3 tapes but previously on 5 cords leaving raised ridges in the parchment of the spine with a large centrepiece on each board in a frame of double fillets. Manuscript in dark brown ink on laid paper with 1 printed and 10 manuscript slips with recipes loosely inserted late 18th & early 19th centuries. pp. 15 16 23-188 197-386 387-412 minus 16 scattered pp. including integral paste-downs and about 160 pp. blank except for the page number. A recipe book in Dutch probably written beginning around 1720 but with additions to at least 1758. Most of the recipes are medicinal but about 15 written pages near the end separated from the others by numerous blanks contain culinary recipes. Among the medicinal recipes one also finds a few for ink shoe polish and other things. The medicinal recipes include treatments for the plague rabid dog bites jaundice worms warts scurvy toothache headache and many other ailments. Unusually the complier cites about a dozen sources for the medicinal recipes. The culinary recipes include several kinds of pancakes waffels and "poffertjes" a popular Dutch treat like tiny puffy pancakes tarts cookies and other sweet treats.A small number of leaves had been used for something else before the present text but they were removed and the rest recased in the original binding to begin the present manuscript. The only remaining clue to this earlier text is in the index leaves at the end where a small number entries at the heads of the pages are written in a different hand and in Latin with references to leaf numbers that are no longer present. They are clearly religious/theological.The manuscript as it now stands has minor marginal defects at the foot of about 40 leaves not affecting the text and occasional minor spots but is still in good condition. The binding is slightly loose due to the removed leaves and the parchment shows a few wrinkles and small spots but the tooling of the centrepiece is clear. A charming manuscript recipe book in Dutch both medicinal and culinary. unknown

12mo., First Edition thus, with several woodcut illustrations in the text, neat nineteenth century signature on front free endpaper, title and first page of text; original publisher's brown grained cloth, boards with double frame border enclosing an elaborate an elaborate lozenge all in blind, very neatly recased with new cloth backstrip to style, original gilt lettering laid down, fore-edges lightly dust-soiled else a very good, crisp copy in sympathetically restored publisher's binding. According to the English editor's Preface this scarce work is 'an adapted translation of one of the most popular treatises on French Cookery, entitled La Cuisiniere de la Campagne et de la Ville ou Nouvelle Cuisine Economique, Paris, Audot, 1846'. The success and stature of the French original is compared to that of Mrs. Rundell. It has been suggested that this is in fact a second edition of a work with a similar title published by Thomas Boys in 1825 [Bitting, p. 554; Oxford, p. 157; Wellcome III, 67]; however this would contradict the Preface, and there is no mention of such a kinship in Oxford who lists both volumes. A very nice copy of an extremely scarce work. Oxford, p.177 (recording the publisher as 'David Boyne'). Not in Cagle.

Signed "In Friendship" upon title page by the author in July 1982 in her home town of Noirmouton, Quebec. "Here at last the legendary Madame Benoit opens the door to the kitchen in her own home, at her sheep farm near Sutton in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. She tells about the joys of cooking at home with her family, and she shares recipes that are her own personal and family favorites from the many she has collected and developed over the years." - dust jacket.

210, 2 [ads] pages. Numerous attractive black and white illustrations in text. "Bachelors are the most charming of entertainers. What woman ever refuses an opportunity to chaperon at a bachelor dinner or studio tea? What debutante does not feel secretly ecstatic at the very idea of looking behind the scenes and peeping into the corners of some famous bachelor menage?" - page 2. "There is no complete compendium for the ambitious bachelor, but his proverbial fare of 'bread and cheese and kisses' needs to be modified to suit present-day needs, and the judicious addition of a few crumbs to his store of provender may be welcome. From these crumbs from many bachelor cupboards, then, may he find an occasional 'crumb of comfort' and a little lift over some hard place along the road. If he finds it herein, the purpose of this book will have been fulfilled." - pages 7-8. Among the twenty-one chapters we find: The Impecunious Bachelor, Bachelor Etiquette, Devils and Grills, A Dissertation on Drinks, Correct Clothes, Carving and Game, Bachelor Bonnes Bouchees, and many more. Binding intact. Prior owner's name atop front free endpaper. Average wear and soiling to decorated blue cloth-covered boards. A sound copy of this cheeky vintage bachelor handbook.

1753L4ADNKY1AWHWLeiden: Pieter van der Eyk 1753. Modern orange paper wrappers. 8vo. Rare first edition of a collection of pharmacological recipes in Dutch that had no official authorization published to meet the needs of apprentices and pharmacists with little or no knowledge of Latin the language of the pharmacompoeia which were officially authorized by governments or medical or pharmacological associations and to avoid misuse quackery and the production and selling of quack remedies. The compilers aim nevertheless to present reliable pharmacological recipes based on the best available sources such as the works of Herman Boerhave 1668-1738 and Etienne Fr. Geoffroy 1672-1731. While some phamacopoeia were translated into Dutch and other vernacular languages Van der Eyk apparently thought less educated readers also needed a different approach to make the information clear. In 1766 he published a second augmented edition.Corners slightly bumped slightly soiled and water-stained throughout not affecting the text.

1826ST20911-2London: Printed at the Caxton Press by H. Fisher Son and Co ca. 1826. FIRST EDITION. 222 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". 2 p.l. 568 viii pp. <br/> Very pleasing retrospective half morocco over marbled paper boards flat spine divided into panels by gilt rules lettered in gilt. With engraved frontispiece and eight plates demonstrating various cuts of meat and seasonal meals not including the "marketing" plate as often. Front flyleaf with ink inscription: "Alice Jones/ her Book/ August 26th 1846." Title page with early ownership signature "Alice Jones 1846" and recent ink inscription "1826." Simon 1080. Plates with variable browning the final one quite browned faint dampstain across bottom margin of frontispiece text with moderate foxing and soiling most pages affected but never severely so still a perfectly decent copy especially of a cookbook internally and in an excellent unworn sympathetic binding.<br/> <br/> This is an early--and likely the first--printing of a popular cookery book issued with the stated emphasis of providing advice and recipes for "the conservation of health." As is often the case with domestic recipe books of this period "The Domestic Oracle" includes not only recipes for food but also for medicines cleaning products and other agents for household purposes. Little is known about our author Alexander Murray but the preface tells us he was a medical doctor and that the medical recipes in the present work "have not been gleaned from obsolete books but are the result of experimental observation in a public and private practice of more than forty years' continuance." Our undated edition is generally agreed to be the first; no earlier editions appear on OCLC. The preface is dated March 29th 1826 so the book was most likely published some time that year although Simon suggests a date of 1830. Our copy has clearly seen kitchen use but is nevertheless generally agreeable and in an attractive sympathetic binding. Printed at the Caxton Press, by H. Fisher, Son and Co unknown
