Educated at Salamanca, Chacón was considered the Verro of his time, incredibly erudite and an exemplary renaissance man from near the end of that era. He became professor of greek at the University of Salamanca, and formed the School of Salamanca together with Francisco de Salinas and Fray Luis de León. Among Chacón s more popular posthumous publications, was his De Triclinio sive de Modo convivandi apud prisco Romanos, a thorough examination of the dining habits and table settings of the ancient romans, looking at the table settings, seating, entertainment, as well as the food and its preparation; and of course, the wine. It was first published by Andreas Frisius, 1664 and then another edition by Henry Wetstein, 1689 both of Amsterdam. More Images and/or Binding Spin Available. Codice articolo ABE-1548121235821
