[Sca-cooks] Tacuinum Sanitatis translations

[Sandra J. Kisner]

Helpful - it makes clear just how many versions there are out there, and does mention the one I have.  Not a great one, perhaps, but probably worth it at the (low) price, especially since I'm unlikely to get another in the near future.

Is one of the Florilegium files.

As I recall, the various manuscripts differ somewhat. I know I have more than one edition, (inc one from Austria) but I am in the middle of a move and can't get to those books at the moment. I don't think we have a comprehensive edition of all the manuscripts with all the illustrations.

The Wikipedia article is interesting, but talks of the original mss, not modern editions.  Since I wouldn't be paying much and the pictures are nice, I'll probably go for it; I suspect it's a selection, rather than a complete edition.

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.

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?
