In the best of all worlds all historical cookbooks would contain:

1. The original text.
2. Translation (word for word) into modern English (assuming an
	English translation).
3. An interpretation ("redaction") of the recipie.

If one of these have to be omitted it is #3. The original text is vital,
since it is the only thing that allows us to make certain that we agree 
with the editor/translator. No matter how great our respect for the
competence/integrity of this person.

My humble opinion.
