I'm sure there are plenty of recipes and directions for modern
gingerbread houses out there. Does anyone know of any period
references for them? I've never found a recipe for them, but I do have
a picture from _Kunstgeschichte des Backwerks_.  It's a woodcut of a
Lebkuchenhaus, late 15th C.. I can't tell if it's supposed to
something that was actually made to be eaten or an allegorical
picture. Looks like round and oval Lebkuchen attached to the surface
of a house. Can't tell what the structure of the house is made of. 

Wish I had a scanner.
