McKerrow, Ronald B. PRINTERS' & PUBLISHERS' DEVICES IN ENGLAND & SCOTLAND, 1485-1640.
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino 2003 8vo. cloth liv, 216 pages +136 pages of plates
A reprint of the original edition printed at the Chiswick Press for The Bibliographical Society, London, 1913, with a 40-page introduction by the author. This work attempts to describe all marks and devices used by printers and publishers resident in Scotland and England from the introduction of printing to 1640, and of all wood-cut borders and ornaments containing the owner's device or initials; it also includes indexes for printers, booksellers, mottoes, inscriptions, initials of designers or engravers, and devices and compartments according to subject. From the earliest days many printers used a device or "printer's mark" to accompany their imprint. These will be found along with the colophon at the end of books printed before 1500-1510, and thereafter usually on the title-page. Familiar examples are the Aldine Anchor and Dolphin, the Estiennes Tree of Knowledge, and the Globe of the Elzevirs (Carter, ABC For Book Collectors). Illustrated with 428 facsimiles after the text.

Notaker, Henry. PRINTED COOKBOOKS IN EUROPE, 1470-1700: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF EARLY MODERN CULINARY LITERATURE.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press & HES & DE GRAAF 2010 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 416 pages
First edition. This is the first bibliography to list all known editions of printed cookbooks published in Europe before 1700. More than a hundred titles in at least 650 editions were printed in fourteen different languages. Some household encyclopedias with culinary sections have also been included. Many of the editions described have never before been listed in modern bibliographies.

Cookbooks from this period are no longer only of interest to collectors and antiquarians. Food history is taught as an academic subject in an increasing number of universities, and this bibliography will be a useful tool for students of culinary literature, as a source for the history of cuisine and food culture. Also, book and literary historians are turning their attention to different forms of non-fiction that had not been properly studied until now: practical handbooks and didactic "how-to" books, of which cookbooks are distinctive examples. Information provided here about the locations of known copies, modern reprints, and facsimile editions will facilitate these studies.

The bibliography gives the full title and physical description of each work. Annotations provide details about contents, biographical data about authors and publishers, information about the sources of the recipes, translations, and plagiarisms. A historical introduction analyzes the development of the cookbook as a genre during the first two centuries of printing, with reference to authorship, publishing history, didactic methods, culinary processes, and differences in gender.

Henry Notaker, a literary historian, has written several books and articles about ancient cookbooks and food history, among them a bibliography of Norwegian cookbooks, published by the National Library of Norway. He is member of the editorial board of the journal Food and History

Offenberg, A.K. CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PRINTED IN THE XVTH CENTURY NOW IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY BMC PART XIII HEBRAICA
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2004 11.25 x 15.25 inches hardcover 360 pages
The Catalogue of Books Printed in the XVth Century Now in the British Museum (British Library), generally referred to as BMC, is a monument in the history of the book. BMC followed on from the rearrangement of the Museum's incunabula begun by Robert Proctor on the basis of the comprehensive survey of printing types and presses of the fifteenth century that he had published in 1898 as an "Index" of the incunabula in the Museum and the Bodleian Library.
The Index represented a working-out of the system he had developed for the identification of printers of the incunabula period on the basis of typographical material. The volumes of BMC extend Proctor's principles by providing full descriptions of the incunabula in the collections of the British Museum and making revisions where necessary. The first part appeared in 1908, prepared by A.W. Pollard after Proctor's death in 1903. The most recent part was published in 1985. 50 leaves with facsimiles and other illustrations.
