Receuil [sic] de Remèdes. – Recettes pour Vernis et Couleurs. – Recettes pour l’Office. Sans date [seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, avant 1789].

Manuscrit médical et gastronomique du XVIIIe siècle, luxueusement relié en maroquin rouge. Où l’on apprend tant à préparer la crème de riz et la poularde à la serviette, qu’à soigner le flux de sang, la gangrène et la paralysie.



Intéressant manuscrit de remèdes et recettes, d’une belle écriture soignée, produit sous le règne de Louis XVI. Il est composé de trois parties distinctes, chacune précédée d’une page de titre avec titre calligraphié dans un encadrement floral comprenant oiseaux, guirlandes, angelot, papillons, etc : un Recueil de remèdes (pp. 1-181, dont 19p. d’une autre main, plus tardive), des Recettes pour vernis et couleurs (pp. 193-242, dont 4p. d’une autre main, plus tardive), et des Recettes pour l’office (pp. 251 à 286) ; in fine, une table des recettes occupe 7 feuillets (pp. 292-304). Pour de nombreuses recettes, qu’elles concernent la médecine ou la gastronomie, la provenance est précisée et l’efficacité attestée par divers témoignages.



In-8 (180 x 112 mm). 156 feuillets, dont le titre liminaire non numéroté, et 155 feuillets paginés 1 à 306 (avec quelques erreurs). 15 feuillets ont été laissés en blanc entre chaque partie. Reliure de l’époque : maroquin rouge, large dentelle et filets dorés en encadrement, dos à nerfs orné, dentelle intérieure dorée, gardes de soie bleue, tranches dorées sur marbrure.

Provenance : Le Rouge (ex-libris avec emblèmes révolutionnaires).



An interesting 18th-century manuscript, about medicine and gastronomy.
