“Roman” branch of the Indo-European language is shown geographically on the ABOVE map is the connection between the 1,800 years of Pellegrino Artusi & Marcus Gavius Apicius.

BELOW is the language tree of  Shelia M. Embleton, “Lexicostatistics applied to the Germanic, Romance & Wakashan familes”, WORD, volume 36, April 1985, page 50.

The symbols on the ROMANCE language tree above are:

StL              St. Lucian Creole.     (first item on the bottom LEFT).

Guad          Guadeloupian Creole.

Fr                French (standard).

Marcus Gavius Apicius, “Apicius: Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome”, 1st Century AD  was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Carl Darling Buck, “Dictionary of Selected Synonyms in the Principal Indo-European Languages”, 1949 also was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Pellegrino Artusi (1820-1911), is an Italian-speaking cook; and, Marcus Gavius Apicius (1st Century AD) is a Roman, Latin-speaking cook.

This blog post I presented connections between these two chefs as Romance-language “linguistics”.  The ABOVE map shows FRANCE and SPAIN  in this group.   Lucio Galletto & David Dale, “Coastline: The Food of the Mediterranean Italy, France & Spain“,2017 was the topic of an earlier blog post.  The contiguous “region” of Romance and Mediterranean is one of the best culinary region in the world.

 

Pellegrino Artusi, ”Science in the Kitchen; and, the Art of Eating Well”, 1891 has been translated from Italian into English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian & Polish.
