The introduction of the the use of the carving fork in The Netherlands
De cierlyke voorsnydinge aller Tafel-gerechten; Onderwijsende hoe allerhande Spijzen, zo wel op de Vork, als zonder de zelve, aardiglik konnen voorgesneden, en in bequame ordre omgedient worden.
Amsterdam, Hieronymus Sweerts, [1668?]. 8vo oblong (101 x 156 mm). 96 p.
With an engraved title page and 32 (1 folding) plates.
Marbled calf, gold tooled. On the covers two borders of a decorative roll connected in the corners. Central a lozenge shaped tool. Spine with 3 raised bands. Double end bands of green and yellow silk.
The first work in Dutch on serving meat, poultry, fish and pastry, and the handling of the artichoke. This book introduced the use of the carving fork in The Netherlands. The first edition appeared in 1664, this undated edition is dated in STCN ca. 1668. In 1670 appeared the last edition. All the three of them have different typeset and are quite rare, especially complete. A second part, although announced in the preface, was never printed.
The publisher, Hieronymus Sweerts (1629-1696), is generally assumed to be the author as well. He was probably inspired by earlier carving books, such as Vincente Cervio?s Il Trinciante, Venice, 1581, with three woodcut illustrations, G. Procacchi?s Trincier oder Vorleg-Buch, Leipzig, Gross, (1620), illustrated with 17 plates, and Harsdörffer?s Trincir-Buch, 1652 (2 plates and 58 engravings).
Bitting, Lipperheide and Vicaire mention a dated 1664 edition. Ferro names the ?Cingel? as the publisher?s address; in this copy the frontispiece places the publisher in the ?Kalverstraat?. Therefore this copy must have been printed after the publisher moved to this address, in 1668.
