Well apparently not, since he has posted his recipes for these two spice
mixtures and others on this list previously. Check this file in the PLANTS,
HERBS AND SPICES section of my Florilegium:
spices-msg       (132K)  8/ 3/99    Info. on spices, sources for spices.

There are referances and quotes from period sources for these mixtures as
well as the mixtures that various folks prefer to use for these.
