It's Bartolomeo Scappi (1500?-1577).
After becoming a noted cook (1536) in the employ of Cardinal Lorenzo
Campeggio, he worked for a succession of Cardinals, then entered the employ
of Pope Pius IV (Giovanni Angelo Medici, 1559-1565) at the Vatican and
continued his service with Pope Pius V (1566-1572).
The Opera was published in 1570.
