Simone Pregnolato

• The paper focuses on some methodological, philological and linguistic problems related to the study of the most ancient culinary texts (cookbooks and practical documents) in Italian vernacular (14th century). The most relevant problems relate to the precise dating and localization of the manuscripts. These preliminary aspects are essential in order to achieve the Atlante della lingua e dei testi della cultura gastronomica italiana dall’età medievale all’Unità which can assist in identifying the origins and history of culinary language in the history of Italian.
