Owner´s signature of Campbell dated 1706 on the title page with notations in the margins covering the first 70 pages.
Graesse I, 244. "Lugduni Jacobus Faure excudebat" stated on the colophon. Second edition of the first Latin translation, by Natalis de Comitibus (1520-1582), and based on a Greek text edited by Marcus Musurus, first published by the Aldine Press in 1514. It is important not only due to its wide range of information regarding different cuisines, but also the music as well as the entertainments during banquets. It also describes the intellectual talk that was the center of Greek culture and references a number of quotations from classical works that have since vanished.
