Catalogue Note
Very rare. The author of this early German cookery book, about whom very little is known, describes himself on the titlepage as "Fürstlich Braunschweigischen bestalten Mundtkoch". It was the first book to be printed at the Court press in Wolfenbüttel, which produced only a few titles in small numbers until its closure in 1613.
