SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON HALF-TITLE in the usual blue ink with double line. David's second book, fitst published in 1951 and to many the finest of the three classic titles that changed the nature of English cookery for ever. In common with her first work 'A Book of Mediterranean Food' this volume is greatly enhanced by the wonderful Minton illustrations, particularly the artwork for the wrap-around dustwrapper. In this second edition (from Macdonald rather than Lehmann) David adds a new Preface explaining the scope of the work, and excludes certain details relative to wartime rationing as no longer necessary. SIGNED COPIES OF DAVID'S WORKS ARE VERY SCARCE.

1700Best.-Nr. K8L0EZ7PGV23The Netherlands 1700. Large agenda 8vo 20.5 x 12 cm. Recased ca. 1720 in its own original ca. 1700 blind-tooled parchment sewn on 3 tapes but previously on 5 cords leaving raised ridges in the parchment of the spine with a large centrepiece on each board in a frame of double fillets. Manuscript in dark brown ink on laid paper with 1 printed and 10 manuscript slips with recipes loosely inserted late 18th & early 19th centuries. pp. 15 16 23-188 197-386 387-412 minus 16 scattered pp. including integral paste-downs and about 160 pp. blank except for the page number. A recipe book in Dutch probably written beginning around 1720 but with additions to at least 1758. Most of the recipes are medicinal but about 15 written pages near the end separated from the others by numerous blanks contain culinary recipes. Among the medicinal recipes one also finds a few for ink shoe polish and other things. The medicinal recipes include treatments for the plague rabid dog bites jaundice worms warts scurvy toothache headache and many other ailments. Unusually the complier cites about a dozen sources for the medicinal recipes. The culinary recipes include several kinds of pancakes waffels and "poffertjes" a popular Dutch treat like tiny puffy pancakes tarts cookies and other sweet treats.A small number of leaves had been used for something else before the present text but they were removed and the rest recased in the original binding to begin the present manuscript. The only remaining clue to this earlier text is in the index leaves at the end where a small number entries at the heads of the pages are written in a different hand and in Latin with references to leaf numbers that are no longer present. They are clearly religious/theological.The manuscript as it now stands has minor marginal defects at the foot of about 40 leaves not affecting the text and occasional minor spots but is still in good condition. The binding is slightly loose due to the removed leaves and the parchment shows a few wrinkles and small spots but the tooling of the centrepiece is clear. A charming manuscript recipe book in Dutch both medicinal and culinary.

1769Best.-Nr. 2211Frohburg 1769. Manuscript on paper 186 x 160 mm. 47 leaves plus two blanks. Fraktur & cursive script. Illustrated with 11 pages ff. 41v-46v of weaving patterns. No visible watermarks. Leaves 2-8 with remnants of red wax adhesive. Some soiling and staining. Contemporary half calf sheep the boards covered in very crude comb-marbled paper worn. An 18th-century weaver's manuscript recipe book and collection of weaving patterns containing over eighty recipes for dyes and twenty-one weaving patterns. The manuscript appears to be in one hand. An addition is dated 1789. The versos of the first six text leaves have small blobs of red wax along the foremargins apparently the remains of an adhesive: the text implies that color samples were affixed in those places. The Gottlob Friedrich Rose for whom the recipes and patterns were recorded was presumably an apprentice or offspring of the weaver. Each recipe contains a heading in Fraktur identifying the color and detailed instructions for its preparation including quantity in cursive script. The many recipes for shades of grays greens blacks and browns give a snapshot view of the street scene on cold dark winter days; but at least as many reds greens blues violets yellows and shades of gold and silver enliven the scene. Gradations of color and varieties of textile bases account for the quantity of different recipes: thus scarlet-red differs from red-scarlet madder-red Krapp-roth carmine-red English madder-red red on linen rose-red and rose-red on wool. Gold-yellow olive-green English-black flesh-color Leib-Farb wood-blue violet-brown.together these colors evoke a pre-industrial world of local self-sufficiency. The weaving patterns with names of popular weaves like "Everlastin" sic are for looms with different numbers of shafts vier-schäftige sechs-schäftige zehn-schäftige etc. Frohburg is a small town located midway between Leipzig and Chemnitz. Before industrialization weaving was its most important local industry. Architectural evidence of the craft subsists today in a few traditional artisans' houses in which the ground floor contains the workshop or weaving room and the upper floor the living and sleeping areas cf.
