If you hear about any, please let me know. Meringue recipes seem to be
conspicuous by their absence: we know that medieval people separated
eggs, we know that they beat eggs (sorta -- it's usually described as
"draw them through a strainer"), and we know that medieval cooks built
sculpture and illusion foods, for which meringue would seem ideally
suited. But I don't know of any recipes for it.
