Okay... from _Libro del Arte de Cozina_, 1599:
Pastel de conejo de las Indias -- Pastry of Rabbit of the Indies
(Guinea Pig)
The rabbit of India must be scalded with hot water in the manner
that one scalds suckling pigs, or it must be flayed, remove the
entrails, and stuff it like the domestic rabbit, and cover it with
pastry, as we said in the previous chapter.
[The previous "chapter" is a recipe for rabbit pie, and it goes as
follows:]
To Make Pastry of Domestic Rabbits
Take the rabbit and cut off the head, and the feet, take out the
entrails and wash it with many waters, and stuff it with a mixture
made of chopped lard, ham, and its liver cleaned of the bile, mint,
chopped marjoram, sour grapes, pepper, cinnamon, cloves,
nutmeg, and salt, raw egg yolks, and when it is full sew up the
opening, and the rabbit sprinkled with the said mixture, put it in a
pastry made in the manner of "nauezilla" with some little slices of
bacon underneath, having taken out the legs, put them upon the
rabbit with as many more little slices of fat pork, and sprinkle all
with the same spices, cover the pastry, and make it cook in the
oven, and serve it hot.
