Book Description
First published in 1930, The Duke's Table is quite simply a massive compendium of vegetarian recipes from Italy and around the world. The brainchild of Enrico Alliata, the Duke of Salaparuta, the book contains over 1000 recipes. Suitable for all levels of culinary ability, the recipes are imaginative, playful and healthy - and all designed for a family-style serving. As the Duke himself puts it 'Even though man can draw all he needs in the way of nourishment from a mere handful of seeds and fruit, he must not give up on a proper meal.'

Book Description
In the late fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries, the Dukes of Valois-Burgundy created a composite monarchy in the Netherlands, an area that had been dominated for centuries by several regional dynasties. In this way they laid the foundation for the modern states of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg. The rise of the House of Burgundy can be read as the success story of a dynasty that in little over a century managed to assemble a great number of principalities, thus creating a new state. The Burgundian takeover, however, resulted in a modernization of administration, jurisdiction, and finances. The process of unification and the character of the union are the central topics of Magnanimous Dukes and Rising States. Robert Stein mirrors continuity and modernization in Burgundian times with the bankruptcy of the former dynasties and the decline of feudal government. The powerful towns played an important background role; it was only with their support that a unification of the Netherlands was possible, but this support was not unselfish. This study is about the development of power relations and institutions in the field of tension between ruler and subject, between centralization and particularism.
