Extract

In 1968 at the Bodleian Library in Oxford I discovered Joseph Scaliger's copy of the Roman cookbook of Apicius, which provided several new pieces of evidence for the continuation of my studies of the fortuna of that author into the seventeenth century.

The Scaliger Apicius bears a note on its flyleaf in an early hand quoting from Struvius; from this reference, I discovered that at the beginning of the seventeenth century Lorenzo Pignoria of Padua (1571-1631) had offered his manuscript of Apicius, of which I have written elsewhere, to Marcus Welser of Augsburg for the use of the Wechel press.
