English villanies [[electronic resource] ] : seven severall times prest to death by the printers; but (still reviving againe) are now the eighth time, (as at the first) discovered by lanthorne and candle-light; and the helpe of a new cryer, called O-per-se-O: vvhose loud voyce proclaimes to all that will heare him; another conspiracy of abuses lately plotting together, to hurt the peace of this kingdome; which the bell-man (because he then went stumbling i'th darke) could never see, till now. And because a company of rogues, cunning canting gypsies, and all the scumme of our nation fight heere under their tattered colours, at the end is a canting dictionary, to teach their language: with canting songs. .

• Sommario/riassunto: In the early 14th century, a court nutritionist called Hu Sihui wrote his Yinshan Zhengyao , a dietary and nutritional manual for the Chinese Mongol Empire. Hu Sihui, a man apparently with a Turkic linguistic background, included recipes, descriptions of food items, and dietary medical lore including selections from ancient texts, and thus reveals to us the full extent of an amazing cross-cultural dietary; here recipes can be found from as far as Arabia, Iran, India and elsewhere, next to those of course from Mongolia and China. Although the medical theories are largely Chinese, they clearly show Near Eastern and Central Asian influence. This long-awaited expanded and revised edition of the much-acclaimed A Soup for the Qan sheds (yet) new light on our knowledge of west Asian influence on China during the medieval period, and on the Mongol Empire in general.
