[Sca-cooks] Tacuinum Sanitatis translations

[Johnna Holloway]

This article might be of interest as it lists where the original manuscripts are:

Don't know if our discussions here are up to date with all the editions. Arano is listed for many of the editions available as used on Amazon. Ratti was the translator of the widely used 1976 edition. You might compare those prices with what you are being offered. There's even a kindle edition these days.

If you search under the exact title in Google, add " ", and word the "review", you ought to be able to maybe pull reviews of the edition.

Is there file there similar to the one about translations of Apicius that covers translations of the Tacuinum Sanitatis?  I have the possibility of purchasing a copy "Translated and Adapted by Oscar Ratti and Adele Westbrook from the original Italian edition : Luisa Cogliati Arano" 1976).  It's in great shape and has lots of nice color plates (and more in black and white), but the "and Adapted" has me worried.  Is it worth it?
