HERB - FWD from Cook's List: Forme of Cury Online

[Gaylin Walli]

This was on the SCA Cook's list and I though several of you might be
interested. It's not completely webbed yet, but the text is
there. And she's right about the HTML files. They're gibberish. Just
look at the basic text files and hope the webbing goes well. -- Jasmine

Subject: SC - Forme of Cury

Hello!

With the assistance of Greg Lindahl, I have posted the text of "The Forme
of Cury", a 14th century English cookbook, to
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/foc/   This site is not yet linked to the
Medieval & Renaissance Food Homepage, but should be soon. It's also not
cleaned up yet - read on for details before visiting!

NOTE: Go straight to the .jpg files.  The  Forme of Cury text begins in
file FoC001.jpg  and follows in numerical order to FoC203.jpg  The Forme of
Cury file consists of 203 scanned pages in .jpg format. These images are
scanned at 300
dpi, and are about 300 to 450K each.

IGNORE THE HTML FILES, they're gibberish.  (I was trying to scan the files
as text, & it didn't work out too well.)

This is the 1785 copy edited by Samuel Pegge. The text includes all Pegge's
notes and gloss, plus another manuscript cookbook entitled "Ancient
Cookery."  A few of the pages are missing a few characters of text along
one margin.

*The recipes begin with file FOC52, and go to FOC131.
*FoC(AC)132 to FOC(AC)163 are the "Ancient Cookery" recipes.
*If you are unable to access these and you desire a copy, please contact
me.  And before you all ask, I can make a *MAC-compatible* copy for you on
a zip disc if you send me a new (unopened) Mac-formatted zip disc.  The
files are too big to email to you.

My mailing address is:  7 El's Way, Sussex, NJ 07461 USA  Please include an
oversize self-addressed envelope.
