> a few days ago  I received the author's copies of my first book. It is a
> study about Apicius and the Roman cookbook, so it may be of interest to
> some list-members, even though it is written in German.
> 
> I have attempted a full-length study of Apicius and the late Roman cookbook
> (160 pages). The focus was on the question of who actually used the
> cookbook in different parts of the Empire and in different parts of Roman
> society from the Imperial age to Late Antiquity. I tried to answer this
> question by looking into the availability of different foodstuffs, the
> kitchen equipment mentioned, basic literacy in the Roman Empire and also by
> studying available data concerning tooth decay in Roman times.
> 
> But, I have to say that again, the book is in German.
> 
> The bibliographical data are:
> Matthias Bode: Apicius - Anmerkungen zum römischen Kochbuch.
>                        Das Kochbuch als Quelle zur Wirtschafts- und
> Sozialgeschichte.
>                        Scripta Mercaturae Verlag. St. Katharinen 1999.
>                        ISBN 3 - 89590 - 079 - 6     Price: DM 36,-
