SC - cod and parrottongues

[Laura C Minnick]

The only "scribal" changes occurred in the last 1800's when the language was 
"translated in a more modern form.  and a list of substitutions was add at 
the bottom of each recipe to deal with the changing availability of the 
ingredients called for in the original,  As the the recipes were recopied 
each transcriber added their name and date to the back of the recipe.  Some 
yeas ago my Aunt-in-law placed the oldest pages in acid free sleeves and I 
am continuing to do so with the rest as I can afford this process. The 
oldest recipe in the collection, is  one for a sausage like dish called 
Scottish Huge the  original date on that one is 1367  it was recopied in 
1407, 1424,1437,1452,1470, 1483,1495,1500,1510,1533ect.  The Sangsters have 
always served in the scribal arts, from the earliest history of the family.  
Nobel and minor royalty the family has through the years the funds to 
persevere many things not just this book. The current book is in fairly good 
pervervation having been wrapped in water proof "oil skin" untill it was 
brought to this country in 1874, where it remained unopened. It was wrapped 
unused by my mother-in-laws family untill it was shown to me in 1977 when I 
married her son.  I now am now the keeper of this book and will pass it 
along to my daughter
