Venice: Andrea Arrivabene 1556. Hardcover. Good. The first complete Latin edition of the ancient 3rd century A.D. Athenaeus' work on banqueting; the work is presented as conversations but touches on ancient societal norms food recipes food criticism politics love and many other topics. Of note the oldest known ""recipe"" assigned to a named chef is found in this work when a short recipe is attributed to Mithaecus fifth century B.C. on the preparation of fish on page 133 of this edition. Related we have one of the oldest examples of food criticism where Archestratus page 117 states that the preparation of fish in the style of Mithaecus' culture is disgusting and should only be reserved for covering up the flavor of poor-quality fish. This particular copy has a funny annotation on page 7 where the note taker re-writes perhaps with disbelief the statement that an aphrodisiac has the ability for the user to partake in intercourse 70 times.

The names of the most famous epicures are cited anecdotes of noted persons usages in the ordinary repasts and in feasts as well as the virtues and qualities of legumes fish and meats." Bitting p.19.<br /> <br /> The surviving fifteen books of Athenaeus's Dinner Table Philosophers provide unique information regarding ancient Greek dining customs including remarks on ancient taste in music dance games court behavior and other details of the lifestyles of the wealthy classes. He also refers to almost 800 different authors and 2500 works. Because so many ancient texts do not survive the Deipnosophistae contains the only reference to many works and authors otherwise lost. Book XIII contains important information regarding sexuality in classical and Hellenistic Greece.<br /> <br /> Athenaeus of Naucratis was a Greek rhetorician and grammarian flourishing about the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd century AD. and was the esteemed author of "Dipnosophistarum sive Coenae sapientum Libri XV" This notable work translated from Greek into Latin for the first time stands as a testament to his erudition and scholarly prowess. Born into the cultural tapestry of Venice Athenaeus dedicated his intellectual endeavors to preserving and disseminating the wisdom of the ancients. His magnum opus published in the year 1556 in Lyon France under the imprint of Sebastianus Barptolomaei Honorati carries the essence of ancient Greek intellectual thought. Titled "Dipnosophistarum sive Coenae sapientum Libri XV" the work spans fifteen volumes showcasing Athenaeus's deep engagement with the symposium or philosophical banquet a concept deeply rooted in classical Greek tradition.<br /> <br /> Athenaeus's meticulous translation from Greek to Latin facilitated the accessibility of this timeless work to a wider audience contributing to the preservation of classical knowledge during the Renaissance period. His linguistic acumen and dedication to the intellectual heritage of the Hellenistic world played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between cultures and epochs. The colophon of this significant edition reveals the craftsmanship behind the publication acknowledging the printer Jacobus Faure for his role in bringing Athenaeus's work to life. The imprint reflects the collaborative spirit of the Renaissance where scholars translators and printers worked in tandem to revive and disseminate the treasures of antiquity.<br /> <br /> Athenaeus's legacy endures through his translation a beacon that guides scholars and enthusiasts alike through the rich tapestry of ancient Greek wisdom. His work not only serves as a testament to his own intellectual prowess but also as a bridge connecting the classical world to the Renaissance and beyond leaving an indelible mark on the trajectory of human knowledge and cultural exchange.<br /> <br /> Vicaire p. 50.
