In the earliest printed editions, it was most usually given the overall title De re coquinaria (\"On the Subject of Cooking\"), and was attributed to an otherwise unknown \"Caelius Apicius\", an invention based on the fact that one of the two manuscripts is headed with the words \"API CAE\".\" -- Wikipedia","brand":"VolumesOfValue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145675555056,"sku":"2940013443075","price":3.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013443075_p0.jpg?v=1763581319","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013443075","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
