About This Item
Thick 8vo. 210 x 155 mm., [8 ¼ x 6 inches]. 779 pp. Illustrated throughout with wood engravings. Original boards, decorative cover of a chef surround by implements of his trade, brown cloth spine.
Originally published in 1868, this is one of many editions of Nelli's recipe book that was published in Italy over a seventy five year period. In the introduction the editor states that the reason this book of recipes has been so successful rests in the descriptions of the art of cooking in all its components and its emphasis on the culture of the kitchen and the resources that are available to the modern chef. "Today the art of cooking is not limited to the simple preparation of food; the skilled cook must possess a vast culture and all the resources of the science." Very good copy.

About De Simone Company, Booksellers
De Simone Company Booksellers enjoyed its second opening as a book company in 2018 after a seventeen-year hiatus. Originally established in 1978, De Simone Company bought, sold, and evaluated rare books, manuscripts, and prints for twenty-two years before closing, when De Simone accepted the position as Curator of the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection at the Library of Congress.
De Simone held this position for fourteen years before moving to the Folger Shakespeare Library as the Eric Weinmann Librarian. In this position, he managed seven departments, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, research services, and the Library's book, manuscript, and art collections. He held this position for three years before retiring in 2017 and reopening De Simone Company Booksellers.
Because of his experience in both the book trade and rare book librarianship, De Simone consults with institutions about the development and evaluation of their library collections. He is the author and editor of a number of books and articles on the history of book illustration and early bibliography.
He is a member of the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America), the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), the Print Council of America, the Grolier Club, the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie, the American Printing History Association, the Bibliographical Society of America.
