1801 Deipnosophistae Classical GREEK Athenaeus of Naucratis Cooking Cookbook SET Very RARE Complete 15 vol Greek Lit / comp@$2,375! The Deipnosophistae is the Latin title of an early 3rd-century AD Greek work, Deipnosophistaí, lit. The Dinner Experts ) by the Greco-Egyptian author Athenaeus of Naucratis. It is a long work of literary, historical, and antiquarian references set in Rome at a series of banquets held by the protagonist Publius Livius Larensis for an assembly of grammarians, lexicographers, jurists, musicians, and hangers-on. It is sometimes called the oldest surviving cookbook. Athenaeus of Naucratis was a Greek rhetorician and grammarian, flourishing about the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd century AD. The Suda says only that he lived in the times of Marcus Aurelius, but the contempt with which he speaks of Commodus, who died in 192, shows that he survived that emperor. Several of his publications are lost, but the fifteen volume Deipnosophistae mostly survives. We find other complete examples of this very rare set for sale elsewhere for as much as $2,375!
