These plates are apparently very rare. The BL has the first two, and attributes them to Aristide Michel Perrot, whereas the National Library of Australia has the same two, but with an attribution to Ferdinand Victor Perrot. OCLC and KVK list just British Library and National Library of Australia. Food and Drink - Natural History, Preparation and Qualities of Food Stuffs 58. PISANELLI, Baldassare. Trattato della Natura de' Cibi et del Bere….Nel quale non solo tutte le virtù, & i vitij di quelli minutamente si palesano; ma anco i rimedij per correggere i loro difetti copiosamente s'insegnano: tanto nell' apparecchiarli per l'uso, quanto nell'ordinare il modo di riceverli. Distinto in un vago, e bellisimo partimento, tutto ripieno della dottrina de' piu celebrati Medici, & Filosofi: con molte belle Historie Naturali. In Venetia, appresso Gio. Battista Porta, 1584 £ 2750 4to, pp. [viii], [ii] blank,1- 144, 155-162, (vere 152); printed throughout within a woodcut frame; woodcut title vignette, illustrated initial and head-piece; barely noticeable repair to blank margin of title page; contemporary full vellum, spine lettered in manuscript; ties lacking; a fine copy. First public edition, uncommon, of this very early cookery and gastronomy book, only preceded by a folio edition of 1583 published in Rome. Baldassare Pisanelli describes the natural history, the usages, the qualities of fruits (such as apples, strawberries, grapes etc) and vegetables (such as mushrooms, artichokes, carrots, fennel, cucumbers etc), liqueurs, meats, game, fish, milk, cheese etc, and gives detailed information of the conditions under which such food and drinks should be used. The information is laid out in a very attractive form for easy reference. Two types of food are described per page opening within a woodcut border, in each case sub-headings are given in the left-hand margin, detailing selection of the food stuff, benefits, its detrimental effects, its medical properties, and the time of year when they are available or best used. On the opposite page the natural history of each item is described. There is a special section devoted exclusively to wine, with its various types and usage. Pisanelli (fl. 1559-1583), a medical doctor from Bologna, became famous on the strength of this book, which went through numerous subsequent editions until the mid seventeenth century. Most bibliographies list this 1584 edition as the first edition. B.IN.G. 1498; BM STC Italian p. 521; Cagle 1168; Horn-Arndt 72; Simon Bibliotheca Bacchica II.507; Simon Bibliotheca Gastronomica 1171; Vicaire 682 (listing this edition as the first); Westbury, p. 173; uncommon, OCLC lists just three copies of this edition
(UCLA, University of Indiana, National Library of Medicine), together with two copies of the first edition (DLC, University of Iowa). The Earliest Printed Book on Economics 59. PLATEA [PIAZZA], Franciscus de. Opus restitutionum usuarum et excomunicationum edita per venerabilem Dominvm Fratrem Franciscvm de Platea Ordinis Minorvm. [colophon: ] Venice, Johannes de Colonia and Johannes Mathen, 22 January 1477. £ 8800 Chancery 4to, (200 x 151 mm), ll. [152] including initial and final blank; in double columns, printed in Gothic letter, with initial spaces, some with guide letters; a few leaves with insignificant marginal dampstaining, some dust-soiling; contemporary full vellum, out of a fifteenth century rubricated legal manuscript leaf, some wear to spine with splits, and worm hole to upper cover; early manuscript ownership inscription of ?Davitis, and a few contemporary marginal annotations; a fresh unsophisticated copy in a contemporary binding. A fine unsophisticated copy of an incunable edition of the first printed book to deal with economics. Platea's Opus restitutionum, first printed in 1472 is the first, and earliest, book in the Goldsmith and Kress catalogues respectively. Platea, (also known as Fra Francesco Piazza) (?-1460), a Professor of law at the University of Bologna and a well-known and acclaimed preacher, includes a detailed discussion of monetary questions, the taking of interest and usury in this treatise on canon law. The first part of the Opus Restitutionum deals with the return of illicit gains. Also discussed are commercial transactions under a variety of different legal circumstances, such as two creditors competing for the spoils of one debtor. The second part concentrates on usury, which, as in all canon law, denotes not just high interest but all interest. Platea is firmly aligned within the church authorities in his condemnation of usury. The final section, De Excommunicationes deals with the judicial exclusion of offenders from the rights and privileges of the Christian community. The printers de Colonia and Mathen had already published an earlier edition of Platea's popular work in 1474, further editions were published in 1472 and 1473.
