Glossary. From the preface This book is not intended to be a technological treatise on the manufacture of cheese whether on the true cheese making farms or in the creameries. Farmhouse cheese making has become an industrialized craft and is decreasingly individual as economic pressure necessitates the centralization of plant and labour. Creamery manufacture with its bulk handling and standardized methods is an industrial branch of dairying. Modern methods of manufacture are so much involved with chemistry microbiology and mechanization that specific text books would be required to deal with any one part of the process. No attempt is therefore made to discuss the commercial methods of milk product or byproduct manufacturing processes. The book is essentially for the ordinary dairy farmer the farmer's wife and the housewife or for any person in town or country who may be interested. It deals with the economical use of the smaller amount of milk either that which is unsold surplus from the farm or purchased especially for purposes of home manufacture. It considers the subject from the craftsman's point of view but allows for those modern innovations which can be helpful without unduly complicating the processes. 118 pp.

Leo VI: Basel: Conrad Waldkirch for Lazarus Zetzner, 1595. Third edition. Sexagesimo (16mo) in 8s (4 5/8" x 3 1/8", 117mm x 78mm).

A near-fine copy, entirely unsophisticated. Polyaenus (fl. 163 AD) wrote the largest surviving treatise on Greek military stratagems (from the Greek strategeo, "be a general") and dedicated it to two emperors: Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. Rome was in the midst of the Parthian Wars; Vologases IV had seized territory in Armenia and throughout northern Mesopotamia, and the Roman governor of Cappadocia had failed to re-establish control. Marcus Aurelius -- famed as philosopher rather than a general -- dispatched his co-emperor Lucius Verus to direct the war in person. This direct involvement of the emperor was unusual, and must surely have led Polyaenus to complete and to dedicate the work ca. 163. Born in Bithynia but of Macedonian origin, Polyaenus was a Roman citizen who wrote in Greek, which remained the administrative language of the Eastern Mediterranean. By reviewing the strategy of historical Greek generals -- but including some Romans and women in the seventh and eighth books -- he offered a direct service to the prosecution of war. The complete text of the Strategemata survives in a single manuscript (Biblia Medicea Laurentiana Plut.56.1, XIVc), although there were several Byzantine abridgements. A Latin translation by Justus Vulteius (who was Professor Hebrew at Marburg) appeared in 1549; the present work is the editio princeps -- prepared by one of the luminaries of philology, Isaac Casaubon -- with text in two columns, Greek parallel to Latin. Casaubon's edition was unrevised until Wölfflin's 1860 Teubner. Leo VI ("The Wise," 866-912; r. 886 AD) was the Byzantine Emperor -- that is, the successor of the Roman Emperors after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 395 -- and a prolific author. He like Polyaenus was Macedonian by birth; this was an important credential in the authoring of military works, since Alexander of Macedon (i.e., "The Great") had long been considered the general par excellence. Leo never fought, but nevertheless compiled the Taktika (ca. 905), a work, describing military tactics, not unlike Polyaenus'. Indeed, a great deal of the Taktika is drawn from the Stratagemata, explaining the binding of the two as a sort of "ultimate handbook" for generalship. The Taktika is here present in the translation of Sir John Cheke (1514-1557), the first Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge and the polestar of English Hellenism. Cheke's translation was published in 1544 and dedicated to Henry VIII, just as Polyaenus had dedicated his work to the emperors.
