A lot of the references in the CA are to _Perfume through the Ages_. I
just gave in and bought a copy of it (after reading it from the library),
though I think some of his references/recipes use modern
ingredients/recipes rather than period ones. Have you checked this source
already or should I did through it tonight to see if there are any useful
references?
