‎Constitutio Criminalis Theresiana oder der Römisch Kaiserl. Zu Hungarn und Böheim a. a. Königl. Apost. Majestät Mariä Theresiä Erzherzogin zu Oesterreich, a. a. peinliche Gerichtsordnung.‎

‎Wien, gedrucht bei Johann Thomas Edeln von Trattnern 1769 . First edition, folio, in contemporary, full calf-covered boards, slightly rubbed, recently re-backed and re-cornered. [16], 282, [14] pages, followed by thirty pages of plates showing the legally approved instruments of torture and their application, in clear (perhaps too clear) detail. These could only be applied as an aid to 'eliciting the truth' in cases which the sentence may have resulted in capital or severe corporal punishment. Published during the reign of Maria Theresia (1717-1780), this work sets out the penal laws of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the approved methods of torture which could be used by the legal authorities to arrive at the truth. Text in German, with marginal notes in Latin. The publication of this book was instrumental in the banning of legalised torture within the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1776, only seven years after its appearance. One of the plates was misfolded and is consequently slightly frayed at the lower edge, with an old paper repair to the lower foredge corner, without affecting the print area. Very slight browning to the text block but generally this is a very good, crisp and clean, copy. (Digital photographs may be available on request.)‎

‎The Recipes. MS.‎

‎1803 Date taken from the Britannia watermark in the main note book.. Manuscript note book, 200x142mm. Bound in later vellum, probably around 1835 from the watermark on the preliminary and end leaves, with blind-ruled borders on both boards and ‘The Recipes | M S’ gilt on the front board. The note book has 80 pages plus six fold-out sheets of recipes bound in on tabs at end. The pagination includes four blank pages at the start and 10 at the end. Marbled end-papers. The paper in the main manuscript bears a Britannia watermark for 1803. The recipes appear to have come from a well-to-do household with a resident cook. They include soups, fish and meat dishes, desserts, bread, cakes, muffins, etc, pickles, jams, marmalades and wines. The recipes sound delicious and call for good ingredients. For ‘A Harrico of Veal’, page 1, ‘Take a Breast of Veal, cut off the neck end for Gravy, then cut the other part into eight or ten square pieces; Flower it all well and put it into a stewpan, with half a Pound of Butter, and let it fry to a light Brown…’; ‘To Stew Pigeons with Cabbage’ follows on page 2 with ‘Sauce for a Pike’ on page 3. ‘To Stew a Rump of Beef’, page 4, begins ‘Bone a Rump of Beef and Stuff it with force meat made of Suit, grated Bread, sweet herbs … 5 Anchovis a couple of hard eggs, a pint of Oysteers shred … put it into a Stew pan and cover it with strong Broth, and let it stew till it is tender, about an hour before you take it up, put in half a pint of red Wine, and half a pint of white…thicken it with Butter roll’d in Flower, Sweet Bread cut in small Pieces, Hartichokes bottoms, and morels, trufles Coxcombs and mushrooms’; ‘Beef Tremblant’ follows on page 5. ‘To Jugg a Hare’ is followed by ‘Cucumber Soop’, ‘Curd Puffs’, ‘Green Pease Soop’, ‘Craw-fish Soop’ and ‘Potatoe Cheesecakes’ which sound very good: ‘¾ pound of boild Potatoes, beat it in a mortar with ½ pound of Butter, put to them ½ pound of Sugar 7 Eggs leaving out 3 whites a glass of sack or white wine, grate in the rind of a Lemmon and squeeze in the juice and bake them’ – I think I’ll make some now. For ‘Germon Puffs’, page 17, ‘Put a quart of water in a stewpan with the size of an Egg of fresh Butter, a little salt, the size of a walnut of loaf Sugar, a few Coriander seeds Cinnamon, a piece of Lemmon … let it Simmer till one part out of four be washed away strain it through a fine lawn Sieve into another Stewpan, put in as much fine flour as will make a thick pasty Pudding; keep it constantly stirring over the stove until it does not stick but slip from the Bottom and sides of the Pan, then put it into a Morter and pound it for near half an hour, breaking therein an Egg now and then to the number of 6 or 7 have ready a pan of Lard Melted hot with a Spoon put in the size of a Wallnut of the Paste’. The additional recipes bound in at the end include a leaf with a red wax seal, with a knight on horseback impressed, posted ‘Tewkesbury | JY 26 1842' to a 'Mrs Strickland | Post Office | Douglas | Isle of Man'. The recipes on the verso are for ‘Batter Pudding’ and ‘Ground Rice’. Other tipped-in items include fold-out instructions for ‘Clear Gravy Soup’; ‘Directions for Making Bread’; ‘Harrico Mutton’ and ‘Batter Pudding’; ‘A Common Omlette’ franked ‘Tewkesbury | MR2 1846’ on verso; ‘Merangues’, with ‘To Preserve Plums’, ‘Apple Whip Tart’ and other recipes on the verso and following leaf. The final item is the two-leaf ‘To apply the diluted varnish to Mahogany Furniture’. Some light browning throughout, mainly near foredge and lower edge of leaves.
