(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (Italian – Trentino) Aldo Bertoluzza. De Coquina: Libro di Cucina del Maestro Martino de Rossi

272 pp. Illus. with drawings and facsimile images of the original manuscript. Pictorial yellow wrappers. First Edition. Trento: Edizioni U.C.T., 1993.

In Italian; from the library of Lynne Rosetto Kasper. A facsimile (with translation and commentary) of a manuscript cookbook from the late Medieval age (c.1400), used at the courts of the Sforzas and Viscontis and in the episcopal principality of Trento. Two copies of a menu celebrating the Cardinal of Trento laid-in. Bertoluzza was an avid historian of the cuisine of Trentino, and his work is deeply researched and respected.

An important and rare work on the subject. Fine.
