SC - availability of books

[Ian van Tets]

Hello the list! (again)

You may find that recipe books were reasonably frequently copied by 
booksellers.  I think (all my notes are at home) that booksellers 
were part of the medical/jewellers guild in Florence.  I think the 
idea was to have all the expensive small things in together.  It's 
the guild that Dante joined, anyway, because he had to belong to a 
guild in order to sit in council, since he was noble.  He chose that 
guild because then he could sell what he wrote (pity it didn't work 
out like that).  Anyway, the medics of the group may have been keen 
on food recipes too, you never know.
