Description
Firenze: Stampata in Bologna con licenza de’Superiori et restampata in Firenze, 1592. 8vo.  145 x 95 mm.,  [5 2/4 x 4 inches].  [4] leaves. Title printed with an typographical border.   Bound in recent half red morocco over marbled paper boards, title gilt on spine.  A fine copy. Originally published in 1590, this is the second edition of this rare poem in praise of the pork.  Written in the form of a eulogy the author, praises the part of the pig and briefly discusses their preparation and the delicate flavor that each can achieve under the direction of a master chef.  The author is unknown other than for this publication, and it may be surmised that having been originally published in Bologna, its’ publication is a celebration of the quality of the beast and many gifts if offers to a hungry and adoring public. This title is cited in the Italian Union Catalogue (SBN ICCU) but only the 1590 edition and specific copy is listed.  It does not appear in OCLC or NUC. See Westbury, Handlist of Italian Cookery Books, p. 30, listing only the 1592 edition.  Not cited in Vicaire or Biting.  Maria Paleari Henssler cites the title in her book Bibliografia latino-italiana di gastronomia, p. 87 but no location is listed.  This is probably the Westbury copy!  .

Description
Venezia: Tipografia di Gio Cecchini e Comp., 1843. 8vo.  225 x 150 mm., [8 ¾ x 6 inches].  112 pp.  Original blue paper, printed wrappers, stitched as issued; front wrapper with some creases and the spine with some rubbing, otherwise sound and attractive. First and only edition of Bartolommeo Bizio's response to the work of Dr. Ambrogio Fusinieri's essay on the creation of the color purple from the internal organs of mollusks found in abundance in the Mediterranean Sea.  Bizio relies on the writings of Aristotle and Pliny and provides a detailed description of the variety of mollusks described by the ancients and the methods used to render the liquor from the shellfish.  He follows this with details describing the difficult process required to produce the color purple for use by painters and cloth makers in the ancient world.  Called Royal Purple, this pigment was a rare and valuable color thus making it both rare and expensive. Carlo Piersanti and Ugo Enrico Paoli, "Porpora".  Enciclopedia Italiani, (1935).  OCLC lists copies at Berkeley and the Field Museum in Chicago.  NUC cites only the Berkeley copy.  ICCU list 10 copies in Italian libraries.

Description
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1899. Third edition. 8vo. 1181, [1], [2, ads] pp. Publisher's green cloth, rebacked, ex-library with spine marking crudely effaced; book-plate Presentation copy, inscribed "A.J. Nellis with kind regards of Wm Osler. 5.25.00." "Osler’s textbook was the best English work on medicine of its time" (Garrison-Morton). “This book went through sixteen editions in its fifty-five years in print and gained and maintained a place in English, American, and even continental practice only comparable with that held by the treatise of Sir Thomas Watson (1843) in the preceding decades. The clear, concise, attractive presentation and the many citations from history and the classics gave it a unique place among scientific books with an essentially literary flavor” (Golden & Roland, p. 136) For a discussion of the third edition, see Richard Golden, A History of William Osler's The Principles and Practice of Medicine (Montreal, 2004), pp. 68-71. REFERENCE: Bibliotheca Osleriana 3546 (& 3544 for Osler’s account of writing the book); Garrison-Morton 2231

Paris: Galerie Kamel Mennour, 2000. First edition. Softcover. Near fine condition. Quarto. 96pp. Original photo-illustrated stiff wraps with red lettering on cover and spine. Photo-illustrated front endpapers. Frontispiece photograph. "Araki's formative years were spent in 60s Japan; a world in which all that was sexual was obscured and silenced. In order to break free from this realm of sexual complexes and denial, he began taking photographs that burst virulently out of the confines of it somber, nocturnal world. Using only his camera, he captured this world's darkness and repression, which were to become both his virtue and his vice." (Germano Celant). Profusely illustrated with color and b/w white photographs aiming to break through the oppressive societal limitations. Text in French, Japanese and English. Minor wear.
