Anthimus was a Greek doctor at the court of Theodoric the Ostrogoth, and was often sent as ambassador to the king of the Franks, for whom he wrote a letter about foods. His text may reasonably be called the first French cookery book; this is a new and more accurate modern language edition.

Autorenporträt
Anthimus was a Greek doctor condemned by the Emperor in Constantinople to a life of exile at the court of Theodoric the Ostrogoth, barbarian ruler of Italy at the beginning of the 6th century AD. In the course of his life in Ravenna, he was sent as ambassador to the King of the Franks and wrote, perhaps as a sweetener to his fierce yet royal host, a letter about foods - which were good for you, which bad, and, sometimes, how to cook and serve them. It may reasonably be called the first French cookery book; and this is a new and more accurate modern language edition, printed with the Latin and English in parallel on facing pages.
