[Sca-cooks] Images of books from the biodiversity Heritage library

[Raphaella DiContini]

Scans of the actual manuscripts!! I think book binders would enjoy these  as well- it even includes the covers inside and out. 

Here's the first batch I'm drooling over: 
Giovio, Paolo,

And doing a browse by year, I was able to pull up all titles from the first available printed in 1480-1699.

Please note, these are not all directly food related, but I feel much of the information would have a definate impact on diversity of diet. 

In joyous service,
