Vicaire 77 , Cagle 1182, Oberle 75 (the 1605 ed.), Bitting 419 (though with a few different paginations for the 1570 edition) A largely complete first edition (though priority has proved hard to establish between the 1570 editions) of the greatest cookery treatise of the Renaissance. Not until La Varenne's Cuisinier Française in 1651 would a work of even roughly comparable culinary importance be published (and that is ignoringf the remarkable engravings - including the first fork ever pictured ). Scappi describes the method and implements of a new sort of cookery. Though sprung from and describing elaborate banquets of mind-boggling complexity (one banquet that he describes has 159 dishes), the individual recipes were suitable for middle class tables, and remain fully recognizable as staples of Mediterranean cuisine. Il Trinciante is likewise a first edition and represents the most important and influential Renaissance treatise on carving. It was often bound with later editions of Scappi's Opera.

In his work, Vincenzo Cervio (who had been in the service of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese) describes in a didactic way how meat should be cut, in particular birds (peacock, turkey, pheasant ), but also fish, fruit, pies or eggs at the lord's table. According to the author, the ideal carver must also stand out for his education and morality. The act of chopping must take place "in the air" and takes place according to an almost theatrical gestural ritual: the left hand of the carver lifts the food high, while the right begins to cut according to very precise anatomical rules. The cut pieces are dropped onto the plate (without being touched), then salted and presented to the lord and his diners (Wikipedia).
