Libro Del Coc - Col·Lecció 7 Portes

by Mestre Robert

12,95€ + 10% CARD

 En el año 1520 apareció, en la ciudad de Barcelona, el Llibre del coc, el primer libro de cocina impreso en la península ibérica. Estaba escrito en catalán. Hasta entonces, los recetarios de cocina habían circulado únicamente en forma manuscrita. La obra se atribuye al maestro Robert, cocinero del rey Fernando de Nápoles. Todo parece indicar que este soberano debe identificarse con Fernando I, hijo natural de Alfonso el Magnánimo, que reinó en Nápoles entre los años 1458 y 1494. El libro incluye más de doscientas recetas, en gran parte vinculadas a las costumbres y a los gustos lujosos de la corte y la nobleza de la época. Mayoritariamente se trata de platos que forman parte de una ya larga tradición culinaria medieval catalana, todavía plenamente vigente en aquel momento, representada por el Sent Soví y otros títulos, como el Llibre d'aparellar de menjar o el Llibre de totes maneres de potatges. Al mismo tiempo que se vincula estrechamente con la tradición que la precedió, el Llibre del coc da cuenta de nuevas influencias y gustos que, poco a poco, se fueron imponiendo durante el siglo XVI. En diversos aspectos, es una obra que actúa como puente entre la Edad Media y el Renacimiento. No resulta sorprendente, por tanto, que a lo largo de este siglo la obra fuera repetidamente impresa en lengua catalana y que, traducida al castellano, también disfrutara de una larga trayectoria. Para facilitar el acceso al texto, se ofrece la versión medieval cotejada con una adaptación al catalán moderno. Los estudios sobre el entorno económico, histórico y culinario que la acompañan favorecen una mejor comprensión de la época y del propio recetario. La colección Set Portes de Receptaris Històrics de Cuina Catalana propone un amplio recorrido por la evolución, las transformaciones y las continuidades de la cocina catalana a través de sus recetarios más significativos. El análisis de estos textos nos proporciona una perspectiva de la evolución de la sociedad y nos aclara el origen de algunas de nuestras costumbres culinarias.

Treasury Of David - Containing An Original Exposition Of The Book Of Psalms; A Collection Of Illustrative Extracts From The Whole Range Of Literature; A Series Of Homilet

 Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The labour of compiling the notes of this volume may be judged of from the fact that upon my writing to one of the most scholarly men of this age for a little assistance in my researches upon that well-known Psalm, the 103rd I received a note commencing, "I have hunted through my books, and have been surprised to find that, with the exception of what is universally known, there is so little about Psalm 103." This most generous-hearted brother had the warmest zeal and love to stimulate his investigations, yet this was the result, and had I repeated the experiment upon other Biblical students, and changed the Psalm, I should in very few instances have received any other reply. Hence, gentle reader, your patience has been exercised in waiting for Vol. IV. of the Treasury, and my toil has been correspondingly increased. Here, however, is the volume, as portly as its fellows, and I hope not inferior to any of them; at least, I can honestly say, if it be so, it is not the fault of my endeavours, for I have bated no jot of energy, spared no cost, and withheld no time, though this last has been a very precious commodity with me, and has frequently been snatched from rest which fatigue demanded, and which prudence might have wisely yielded.<br><br>Nor is this the only reason for the time which this volume has occupied, though we judge it to be quite sufficient, but we have desired to complete this work at our best, and not to allow the close of it to exhibit signs of fatigue and decline. We have often sat down to write our comment upon a Psalm, and have risen from the task because we did not feel at home at it. It is of no use compelling the mind, its productions in such a case are like forced fruits, disappointing and devoid of flavour. We like to write after the manner of John Bunyan, who said, "As I pulled, it came," and we prefer that the pulling should be as gentle as possible. So it has happened that we have lingered for months over a Ps

Kumhr, Kumbhr. - The caste of potters, the name being derived from the Sanskrit kumbh, a water-pot. The Kumhrs numbered nearly 120,000 persons in the Central Provinces in 1911 and were most numerous in the northern and eastern or Hindustani-speaking Districts, where earthen vessels have greater vogue than in the south. The caste is of course an ancient one, vessels of earthenware having probably been in use at a very early period, and the old Hindu scriptures consequently give various accounts of its origin from mixed marriages between the four classical castes. "Concerning the traditional parentage of the caste," Sir H. Risley writes, "there seems to be a wide difference of opinion among the recognised authorities on the subject. Thus the Brahma Vaivartta Purana says that the Kumbhakar or maker of water-jars (kumbha), is born of a Vaishya woman by a Brahma father; the Parasara Samhita makes the father a Malakar (gardener) and the mother a Chamar; while the Parasara Padhati holds that the ancestor of the caste was begotten of a Tili woman by a Pattikar or weaver of silk cloth. Sir Monier Williams again, in his Sanskrit Dictionary, describes them as the offspring of a Kshatriya woman by a Brahman.

In the upper part of Chesapeake Bay was a commanding post within the disputed territory of Maryland and Virginia, and was alternately occupied by the forces of the contending colonists. This place, in 1632, was occupied by William Claiborne, Secre tarv of State to Governor Sir John Harvey of Virginia. Claiborne was the champion of the rights claimed by the Virginia Colonists in their contention with Maryland while the English government and King favored Lord Baltimore s claims, or the Maryland side of the controversy. Sir John Harvey, who was himself a creature of the King, found it contrary to his interests to oppose the King''s wishes openly. When, therefore, Claiborne resisted the encroach ments of Maryland by force of arms and was, in consequence, in dicted and found guilty of murder, piracy and sedition, and took refuge with Harvey, that officer, on the one hand, refused to give him up to the Maryland authorities and on the other hand, con sented that he should be sent to England for trial.

Spiritual Diary Of Emanuel Swedenborg - Being The Record During Twenty Years Of His Supernatural Experience; Numbers 4545 To 5659, Including The Portion Usually Known As The "Smaller Diary"

 Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IT is nearly six years since I commenced my labours on the present volume of The Spiritual Diary of Emanuel Sweden borg; and now that these have at length reached an end, I feel that some explanation is due to the Subscribers to the work for such a long delay. When Professor Bush''s ms. Was first placed in my hands, it was given, and received, in the belief that all that would be required was a careful reading over (for the rectification of manifest oversights and the putting of finishing touches) before sending to the printer, and, afterwards, seeing the work through the press, reading proofs and performing whatever ordinary editorial duties might be called for. It was on this under standing, accordingly, that I began the perusal of the ms. But I had not gone very far, before I was struck with astonishment at the number of evident errors, some of them of the most elementary character and the most glaring description; and many of them, such as could only be accounted for by regarding them as amazing aberrations of the pen. This discovery warned me that I must, henceforth, exercise great wariness. I proceeded, therefore, with increased care and vigilance; with the result that the farther I advanced, and the greater the care I exercised, the more numerous and grave became the errors I detected. At length, a suspicion which had been gradually forming in my mind as my acquaint ance with the ms. Progressed, grew into the firm conviction, that Professor Bush had never intended this ms. To go into the hands of the printer, except after a subsequent careful revision by himself. This conviction my further acquaintance with, and study of, the entire ms., has but served to develop into a positive belief.
