Mensa philosophica, optime custos valitudinis studiosis juvenibus apparata non minus sententiarum gravitate conducibilis… Paris : François Regnault, 27 octobre 1509 [Anno domini. 1509. Sexto kalen(das) Nove(mbris)].

Impression parisienne post-incunable de ce Banquet philosophique et gastronomique.



Parfois attribué à Michael Scott, l'ouvrage serait en réalité de Théobald Anguilbert, docteur en médecine formé à l'université de Paris au XIIIe siècle, qui revendique une ascendance irlandaise : « Hyberniensis ». Traduit en anglais au XVIIe siècle sous le titre de The Philosopher's banquet, ce traité médiéval aborde la diététique et les plaisirs de la table. La quatrième et dernière partie porte sur les propos d'après-repas : anecdotes sur le mode de la facétie et considérations sur les rêves, les enfants, les voleurs, le clergé, etc.



La première partie traite de l'appétit, de l'heure et du nombre de repas, de leur ordonnance. On relèvera aussi les Quaestiones de vino (f. 29-verso du f. 30) : faut-il se soûler une fois par mois, ainsi que le recommande Avicenne ? Suivent douze autres questions : pourquoi les buveurs de vin coupé souffrent-ils davantage que les adeptes du vin pur ? Pourquoi certains vins entraînent-ils des maux de tête ? Vicaire, 778 ; Simon, Bibliotheca gastronomica, 115-117 ; Inventaire chronologique I, p. 304, n° 10 (2 exemplaires cités : Lille et British Library) ; Bagnasco, Catologo Bing, n° 1282 ; Oberlé Fastes, 49 (édition vénitienne de 1514) ; Sarton, Introduction To The History of Science II, 1931, 580 (réfutation de l'attribution à M. Scott).



Petit in-8 gothique (133 x 92 mm). A-F8 G4 ; L ff., (2 ff.). Grande marque typographique de François Regnault sur le titre (feuillet G3 en fac-similé. Petites restaurations angulaires ou en pied aux ff. A4, A5, E6, E7, F2, F4, F7, G1, G2 et G4.) Reliure signée D. Jaquillard : maroquin havane, dos lisse orné de deux fleurons dorés et titre en long à froid, tranches dorées, étui.



A rare early Parisian edition of the Mensa philosophica.
