SC - Melons.

[LrdRas@aol.com]

In "The Four Seasons of the House of Cerruti" which
is a reprint of the "Tacuinum Sanitatis in Medicina"
which is a 14th century Italian/Latin health manual,
melons are depicted.  Unfortunately, I don't have
the book in front of me at the moment. (I am at
work.)  If you need more specifics, I will post them
here on Monday.
