Le Ménagier de Paris, Traité de morale et d’économie domestique… Paris : Crapelet, 1846.

Édition princeps.

Le livre culinaire le plus considérable que nous ait laissé le Moyen Âge.

Ce traité de morale et d'économie domestique fut rédigé, vers 1393, à l'adresse de sa très jeune épouse, par un bourgeois de Paris, peut-être Officier royal. Il compile 409 recettes dont une centaine adaptées du Viandier de Taillevent, remarquables par le détail des préparations. La série de menus est sans équivalent dans la littérature culinaire médiévale. (Laurioux, Le Règne de Taillevent, 1997, pp. 117-158).

Vicaire, 583 ; Cagle, 333 ; Livres en bouche, n° 20 ; Bitting, 578.



2 volumes in-8 (236 x 150 mm). Tirage limité à 324 exemplaires sur papier de Hollande. Un des 100 exemplaires non censuré : avant les cartons et donc avec les mots un peu crus qui figurent au pages 59 à 62 du tome II. Illustré d'un bois gravé en tête du texte dans le premier volume (p. 9) et d'une planche hors-texte dans le second. Reliure de l’époque : demi-maroquin bleu nuit, dos à nerfs richement orné, têtes dorées (choc à un coin du premier volume).
