>  I found this fascinating. Since the Biblical injunction prohibiting the
combination og milk/meat is scripturally confined to the cooking of a young
animal in it's own mother's milk, I would like to know if there are any  books
or other resource materials that detail the expansion of this rule into the
current system? 

Yes, Lord Ras,  next time you come over, I'll show you the Judaica section of
my books.

>  More importantly, was the expansive  prohibition regarding combining milk/
meat as opposed to the scriptural ban on combining child/mother's milk put
into use pre-period or was this a result of general religious prohibitions set
in place during later periods?

The prohibition against mixing meat and milk as opposed to JUST not cooking a
kid in it's mother's milk goes back approximately two thousand years.  Rabbis
Akiba and Hillel debated this issue (not at the same time)  but I will have to
look up exact dates.
Certainly by "our" period, the prohibition against mixing any meat and any
dairy was codified and extensive.
