The Apicius treatise is concluded on p. 110, and is followed by "Appendicvla De Conditvris Variis ex Ioanne Damasceno, Albano Torino Paraphraste," not mentioned on the title. This treatise extends from p. 110 to p. 117, comprising fourteen recipes for "condimenta" and "conditvræ"; these are followed on the same page by "De Facvltatibvs Alimentorvm Ex Pavlo Ægineta, Albano Torino Interprete" which book is concluded on p. 139; but with hardly any interruption nor with any very conspicuous title on this page there follows the work of Platina: "P. [_sic_] Platinæ Cremonensis, viri vndecvnqve doctissimi, De tuenda ualetudine Natura rerum, & Popinæ scientia, ad amplissimum D.D.B. Rouerellam S. Clementis presbyterum, Cardinalem, Liber I." The ten books of Platina are concluded on p. 366; the type gracefully tapering down with the words: "P. [_sic_] Platinæ libri decimi et vltimi Finis" and the date, as mentioned. The last page blank. {Illustration: TITLE PAGE, LYONS, 1541 This edition, printed in Lyons, France, in 1541, by Sebastian Gryphius is said to have been pirated from the Torinus edition given at Basel in the same year. Early printers stole copiously from one another, frequently reproduced books with hundreds of illustrations with startling speed. Gryphius corrected Torinus' spelling of "P" [Bartholomæus] Platina, but note the spelling of "Lvg[v]dvni" (Lyons). Inscription by a contemporary reader over the griffin: "This [book] amuses me! Why make fun of me?"} {Transcription: CÆLII APITII, SVMMI ADVLATRICUS MEDICINÆ ARTIFICIS, De re Culinaria libri Decem. {Handwriting} B.
