[Sca-cooks] book on cacao

[johnna holloway]

This was translated as:
Chocolate, or, An Indian drinke
by the wise and moderate use whereof, health is preserved, sicknesse
diverted and cured, especially the plague of the guts, vulgarly called
the new disease ... /
Antonio Colmenero de Ledesma;  James Wadsworth
1652

The cataloguing notes read:
Translation of: Curioso tratado de la naturaleza y calidad del
chocolate./ Translator's verses signed: Don Diego de Vadesforte [i.e.
James Wadsworth]./ Testimonials by Melchor de Lara and John de Mena
dated 1631./ This is a Thomasen Tract so it may not be up on EEBO yet,
but it is filmed.

It was also published as part of:

 The manner of making of coffee, tea, and chocolate
as it is used in most parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, with
their vertues /
Author(s): Dufour, Philippe Sylvestre, 1622-1687. ; Colmenero de
Ledesma, Antonio. ; Curioso tratado de la naturaleza y calidad del
chocolate.; English.; Chamberlayne, John,; 1666-1723.
Publication: London : Printed for William Crook ...,
Year: 1685

The note on the cataloguing reads:The tracts on tea and on chocolate
have special title pages. Those on tea and coffee are translated by John
Chamberlayne from the French of Philippe Sylvestre Dufour; that on
chocolate from the Spanish of A. Colmenero de Ledesma. Cf. BM./It's up
on EEBO and UMI filmed it.

OCLC lists a 1631 Spanish, 1643 French, 1644 Latin, and then the 1652
English edition listed above.

Hope this helps--
