Description

4to. (2), LV, (1) pp. With a woodcut printer's device and an engraved half-page headpiece. Contemporary full calf, spine gilt. Blue marbled endpapers. All edges red. First Italian edition of one of the earliest works on truffles, also published in Latin ("Tubera terrae") in the same year, with fine provenance.

Giambernardo Vigo (1719-1805) taught Italian, Latin and Greek rhetorics at the University of Torino and was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences. - Binding somewhat rubbed; interior brownstained.

Rare; only eight copies in libraries worldwide outside Italy (via OCLC). - Westbury (Italian Cookery Books) 223 (this copy cited). Vicaire 864. Paleari Henssler p. 757. ICCU TO0E\000827.
