Reviews

Grieco's book, much awaited, maintains his promise of being a milestone in food history, regardless of the time period it covers...A deep inquiry into the mutual relationships between moral and political economies, as well as of knowledge production, and dissemination. For materially and visually-minded historians of science and knowledge this book is a treasure of suggestions, both about the systems of classifications of nature and about the daily life of people elaborating and disseminating knowledge about the edible side of the natural world. -- Paolo Savoia * Nuncius * A comprehensive and insightful contribution on the subject of food culture in the Renaissance. -- Marco Malvestio * Renaissance and Reformation *
