SC - Sabina Welser's Cookbook

[Dottie Elliott]

At Pennsic, I picked up a cookbook titled Sabina Welser's Cookbook 
translated from Das Kochbuch der Sabina Welserin (c. 1553) by Valoise 
Armstrong.   Does anyone know anything about the german source for this 
cookbook?  Are the recipes truly all from the mid-1500s?
Unfortunately, this is only the English translation and does not include 
the original german.

The reason I ask is this cookbook is unsual in several regards. A number 
of the recipes give amounts. There are several pastry recipes (standing 
pies, dumplings and tarts). Since these are unusual offerings in the 
English, French and Italian books I have studied I wondered if this 
cookbook was entirely from the mid-1500's or maybe contained later 
recipes as well.
