Item description from seller

Vii, 361 pp. Bibliography and index. With decorative chapter headings. Mustard yellow glossy dust jacket with playing-card image of a kind. DJ has very minor shelf wear, otherwise intact. Book itself is clean and nice, a very nice copy. This volume is the first to present all four extant manuscripts of the Viandier, arranged in parallel for easy comparisons. The texts of the 220 recipes are in the original French, but a complete English translation is provided. Of particular interest are the differences between the 4 manuscripts, representing more than a century of modifications in gastronomic tastes and culinary practices -- or perhaps, scribes with bad vision! Text is small and dense in this 1st edition. With Selected Recipes Arranged in a Modern-Day Menu. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 361 pages.
