Specialist Notes
First collective edition of the Opere dello Scappi and Trinciante del Cervio, both with wood depicting banquets, crockery and utensils for cutting meat and fish. The Scappi can be considered among the most important Renaissance cooking texts, certainly thanks to the fame of the Author, who was the personal chef of numerous cardinals and two popes; the Cervio, one of the most famous treatises on cutting meat and fish of the 16th century. Vicaire.
