Lot 175 | PARMENTIER, Antoine Augustin (1737-1813).
PARMENTIER, Antoine Augustin (1737-1813).

Avis aux bonnes ménagères des villes et des campagnes, sur la meilleure manière de faire leur pain. Paris : Imprimerie royale, 1777.

Édition originale de cet essai de Parmentier sur la confection du pain. Parmentier fait le choix d’un opuscule simple et concis, puisque, affirme-t-il, les destinataires de son ouvrage “ont moins le temps de parcourir des dissertations, que de mettre en pratique de bons et d’utiles préceptes : ainsi la précision & la clarté doivent toujours régner dans un ouvrage, où il ne s’agit que de leur indiquer des procédés simples et faciles”. (p. 4). Il passe en revue toutes les étapes de la fabrication du pain, saupoudrant de conseils et de méthodes pour bien choisir le blé, le conserver, le moudre, utiliser la farine, réaliser le levain, le pétrir. Parmentier, effaré de constater que “tout le monde croit connoître la véritable forme du four”, affirme que “rien n’est plus rare que de rencontrer chez une bonne ménagère un four bien fait”, et s’emploie à décrire la forme et l’usage convenables de cet allié indispensable à la confection du pain. Vicaire, 656.



In-8 (188 x 118 mm). (Restauration en marge supérieure des 2 premiers feuillets , rousseurs et piqûres marginales éparses). Reliure moderne : demi-veau, tranches rouges.
