Of gelidi potus abuso. Libri tres. Cesena, Bartholomeo Raverio, 1587. In-4, green half-maroquin with small vellum corners, smooth spine decorated (modern binding). Vicar, col 572. Rare first edition, with a beautiful copper-engraved title-frontispiece. It was missing in Oberlé, Fastes de Bacchus. It was printed in Césène, a town in Emilia-Romagna where printing was introduced in the second quarter of the 16th century (Deschamps, col. 240, gives the date 1525). Treatise on the abuse of fresh drinks (water, wine, milk, beer, cider, etc.), composed by a physician and philosopher born in Caesene in the 16th century and died in the early years of the following century. Several chapters deal with the different methods of refrigeration, and p. 83 contains wood figures representing refrigerating vases. Traces of a handwritten ex-libris on the title.
