Second edition of the erudite Spaniard Chacon's interesting work on the convivial and banqueting habits of the Romans. The author, a friend and correspondent of Baronius, de Thou, Casaubon and others, was charged by Gregory XIII to re-edit the Bible, the entire patristic writings and Gratian's Decretals. In spite of his enormous scholarship all of his works were published posthumously. Adams C1630; Vicaire 174; Bitting p.90 (note).
