It seems to be taken from Zambrini's 19th-century "Libro della cucina 
del secolo XIV": in other words, probably either a secondary source
(gasp!) or OOP. Probably the former, with an either unknown or lost
primary source. The recipe is for noucato, though, and is rather a lot
like rice crispies squares made with nuts instead of rice crispies. You
boil honey until it is thick and gooey enough to stick your nuts
together (I see _nothing_ funny about this, guys!!!) (Bwa hah ha!!!) and
firm up and become unsticky as it cools.

You guys are a bad influence on me!
