Specialist Notes
A beautiful whole that unites two very rare editions, like the entire limited production of the rhymer of Sienese origins who, due to the very rough and licentious subject matter of the satires, prudently published them under a pseudonym. Some satires in the second part are of gastronomic interest, such as the Disdain for salt and Luganigar fat or Praises, perfection and properties of cabbage.
