CERVIO, Vincenzo (circa 1510-1580).

Il trinciante di m. Vincenzo Cervio, ampliato, et ridotto a perfettione dal cavallier Reale Fusoritto da Narni, trinciante dell'illustrissimo reverendissimo signor cardinal Farnese. Venise : Heredi di Francesco Tramezini, 1581.

Édition originale : le plus populaire des Arts de trancher du XVIe siècle.



Dans son introduction et son épître dédicatoire au cardinal Alexandre Farnèse, Fusoritto da Narni, écuyer tranchant du cardinal, explique avoir achevé un texte débuté par son prédécesseur à cette charge, Vincenzo Cervio. Les trois gravures sur bois qui illustrent l'ouvrage traduisent autant qu'elles renforcent la dimension didactique de ce manuel : l'une, dépliante, montre des couteaux, et des fourchettes, instrument dont l'usage ne s'était pas encore répandu et était réservé aux officiers de bouche. Une autre représente des volailles dont certaines parties du corps sont légendées. Les conseils dispensés par le Trinciante ne se limitent cependant pas à la découpe de viandes, de poissons ou de fruits : on trouve aussi des conseils sur la préparation de divers mets, ainsi que des indications pour recevoir papes, rois et grands personnages.
