The first is the name of the cookbook world MANFREDI and came on 1 July 1474 to the world. the examples here on the photo to be seen is extremely rare. few books are detected worldwide. awe I had problems before flipping through the pages. Incidentally, of all known copies of this only in the best condition.
de Girolamo Manfredi was a physician and teacher of medicine at Bologna. the factory set up in his time to the amateur-educated audience, and was therefore an understandable question and answer written form. "Perch" is Italian and means why. everyday ask are answered here, such as why you should eat bread cold and not warm. so it was up to the year in the 19th century. a best seller.
the LIBRO de perches is considered the earliest predecessor of printed cookbook. then we did not find any recipes for such publications, but advice and guidance on healthy lifestyle (this is not today again like that?).
manfredi shares in the rest of the fame of the "first" printed cookbook with platina / / martino de como, italy, the book also appeared in 1474. found
I have the copy at a collector in his library. I had gone almost breathless. books and stones are patient and tell and tell. what has happened since the publication in the kitchens of Italy and the world. Girolamo Manfredi had known that hundreds of years later formed the non-homo sapiens from the Louvre in Paris squats and filled with chemical-cola and potato ships is growing in? had he known that his book has ultimately led to nothing? would he turn in his grave as they say even in the pure imagination? could he imagine that the man is in fast moving cars and there oil imports, which is more expensive than the olive oil daily. we want to spare him and enjoy his work.
