Search for: [Abstract = "The present study analyses the fragment reading …in dulci piper habentem, parum cariofilum et gingiber, costo et spicanardi vel folio, being part of Chapter 13 of De observatione ciborum, penned by a Byzantine physician Anthimus at the beginning of the 6th c. AD. The author of the article tries to reconstruct \(on the basis of topical culinary, agronomic and encyclopaedic literature of Antiquity and Byzantium\) the technology employed in preparing the delicacy, and its full list of ingredients \(claiming that the term folium in the recipe denotes tejpat, i.e. Cinnamomum tamala \[Buch.\-Ham.\] T. Nees \& Eberm, and not spikenard\). The research leads to the conclusion that Anthimus’ literary advice is based on his profound medical competence."]
