On the pleasures of a countryman's table
BERCHOUX, Joseph de.La gastronomia ó los placeres de la mesa. Poema. Traducido libremente del Frances al verso Español por Don José de Urcullu, capitan graduado, teniente del regimiento infantería de Leon.    Valencia, La imprenta de Estévan, 1820. 12vo. Contemporary calf, spine gilt in compartments with red title label. Full-page engraving of a merry company drinking coffee in a garden by T. de Rocafort. XII, 228 pp. First edition of this new Spanish verse translation by José de Urcullu of Joseph de Bechoux' popular poetic miscellany on the pleasures of a countryman's table. The poem contains 34 verses on coffee in the fourth canto. An index is supplied on pp. 225-8. This translation by Urcullu was preceded by a verse translation by Manuel Pedro Sanchez (London, H. Bleyer, 1818). Later editions of Urcullu's translation followed in 1830 and 1839, both printed in Valencia by Cabrerizo. The original French edition of this work was printed in Paris by Giguet en Cie in 1801, it has been reprinted and translated in English (1810), Italian (1825), Portuguese (1842) and Spanish many times. In 1993 a facsimile-edition was published in Valencia. The engraved plate by T. de Rocafort facing page 83, shows a merry company in a garden; a woman is pouring coffee into a man's cup. Joseph de Berchoux (1762-1838) was a French poet. Besides this work he also wrote La Danse, ou les Dieux de l'Opera (1806 & 1808), Voltaire, ou le Triomphe de la philosophie moderne (1814) and La Liberté, poème en quatre chants, par un petit neveu de Scarron (1833).
