A11769	The philosophers banquet Newly furnished and decked forth with much variety of many severall dishes, that in the former service were neglected. Where now not only meats and drinks of all natures and kinds are serued in, but the natures and kinds of all disputed of. As further, dilated by table-conference, alteration and changes of states, diminution of the stature of man, barrennesse of the earth, with the effects and causes thereof, phisically and philosophically. Newly corrected and inlarged, to almost as much more. By W.B. Esquire.; Mensa philosophica. English.	Scot, Michael, ca. 1175-ca. 1234, attributed name.; Anguilbertus, Theobaldus, attributed name.	1633 (1633)	STC 22063; ESTC S100623	106,565	400
