Alas, yes. It had been, essentially, community property between myself
and the young lady who introduced me to the SCA. When we went our
several ways, it went with her. Had I known, then, that it was probably
to end up in the Staten Island landfill, I would have refused to part
with it. However, I'm glad to hear that it is from Harl. MS 279, which
is the first of the two manuscripts published by Oxford University Press
and the Early English Text Society as "Two Fifteenth-Century Cookery
Books".
 
Still, it's a lovely little book that I miss dreadfully, sometimes.
