註釋

A classic work on diet and agricultural methods of the ancients, illustrated with examples of utensils and dishes. Covers nearly every possible aspect of food and its preparation in ancient times; the mythological origin of specific foodstuffs; agricultural, milling and marketing practices; detailed recipes; even an in-depth study of the gastronomy and sociology of the Roman banquet table. It has now more or less been established that author of this idealistic work was one Adolphe Duhart-Fauvet who sold his manuscript to Soyer to be translated by him, however Soyer makes no mention of Duhart-Fauvet and claimed the work as his own.
