Hello!  Yes, this is more what I'm looking for.  Thank you, Valoise!

I'll add some, too.  I've included Gerard & Athenaeus because they do have
a few recipes &/or serving ideas in the text.

I don't have the original of Platina -- is it in Italian or Latin?  When
was Epulario written?  And Varenne?  And Apicius?

Are the 2 listings for Ancient Cookery for the same text?  Also, there has
been a more recent reprint of Two 15th c. Cookery Books, I believe by
Kraus.  Does anyone have the bibliographic details?

Is the "Cariadoc, vol. II" you refer to: Freedman, David, ed.  A Collection
of Medieval and Renaissance Cookbooks.  Volume II.  Third edition.
Chicago, 1989.?  If so, what is the bibliographic info for Vol I?

Anyone have more to add?  Ideas regarding cut-off dates?

Cindy
