One day, the famous Russian writer Jiri Groshek was putting his house in order and discovered his old novel “The Restoration of Lunch.” “What kind of disgrace?!” – Jiri Groshek exclaimed and rewrote this novel again. The result was a “Great Restoration of Lunch,” where the number of author’s “outrages” did not decrease at all, but only doubled. “Now we look nice and neat!” – Jiri Grošek noted with deep satisfaction and took this manuscript to the publishing house... Read “The Great Restoration of Lunch”, where the new plot combines fresh chapters with “restored” ones, where chef Petronius prepares “satiricons”, Poggio Bracciolini bakes “facetia”, and Cook Jiri Groshek makes “Czech-Moravian meatballs.” In a word - bon appetit! Restriction: not recommended for people without a sense of humor. The chapter is about how Poggio Bracciolini and his scribe named Vendulca left the inn early in the morning of 1425 and headed to the monastery of St. Gall, where the manuscript of Petronius Arbiter was kept. And what came of it... The chapter is about how Poggio Bracciolini, his copyist named Vendulca, the innkeeper and the pope, late in the evening of 1425, finally approached the monastery of St. Gall at a distance of one German mile, but turned back due to newly discovered circumstances, which the priest kept silent about for the time being, but soon told his fellow travelers that he could easily enter the monastery and steal the manuscript of Petronius the Arbiter. And about what came of it... A short list of the works of various learned men and enlightened ladies on the topic of antiquity, Egyptology, the Middle Ages, Byzantinism, early Christianity and the late Renaissance from the monastery library with notes by the priest and Patriarch Photius.[25]
