Giovio (Paolo),1483-1552. Romae, in aedibus F. Minitii Calvi. Anno M.DXXIIII mense August. In-4° antico, (270 x 200 mm.), br. muta. 52 ff. n.n.
First edition of the papal physician Paolo Giovio’s first published work, ‘Of Roman fish’, conceived at a banquet Clement vii gave for François Louis, cardinal of Bourbon, during which the nomenclature of fish and seafood available in Roman markets had been disputed, and Giovio encouraged to compose his treatise. Proceeding chapter by chapter through about forty different kinds of fish, Giovio correlated ancient and modern names, commented on medical and nutritional properties, offered suggestions for cooking, and recounted anecdotes about Roman banquets – such as the occasions when Tito Tamisi travelled across Rome in order to dine on a black umber, and when Leo X served his buffoon, Frate Mariano, a piece of rope cooked in a sauce as though it were a lamprey.2 In the chapter on sturgeon, Giovio refers to Portuguese and Spanish voyages.3First edition of the papal physician Paolo Giovio’s first published work, “Of Roman fish”, conceived at a banquet Clement VII gave for François Louis, cardinal of Bourbon, during which the nomenclature of fish and seafood available in Roman markets had been disputed, and Giovio encouraged to compose his treatise.
