Anna Weckerin was the widow of Johann Jacob Wecker, a medical doctor in
Basel and Colmar, who wrote widely on dietetics, wines etc. and who
translated the "Kunstbuch" of Alexius Pedemontanus.
>> Anyone know of a reprint edition of this book?
There was a limited facsimile-edition of the Weckerin cookbook in 1977:
Ein Koestlich new Kochbuch Von allerhand Speisen/ an Gemuesen/ Obs/
Fleisch/ Gefluegel/ (...) durch F. Anna Weckerin/ Weyland Herrn D.
Johann Jacob Weckers (...) nachgelassene Wittib. Amberg 1598.
Vol. 1: Facsimile. Vol. 2 (a small booklet): "Kommentar von Julius
Arndt". München 1977.
There were printed 1000 copies. Now and then an antiquarian copy shows
up.
Here is a funny recipe for "shavings" or "chippings" made from almonds:
"Hobelspa:en.
BEreit klein gestossene Mandeln mit Zucker vnnd
Rosenwasser/ streich es auff Oflatten du:enn/ schneid es darnach
mit einer scheer zu langen schmalen riemlein auff eine
stu:ertz/ bach es inn der pastetenpfann oder bachofen/ so kru:emmen sie
sich/ sind auch scho:en vnnd gut/ sie sollen weiss bleiben." (p. 64).
(a:e = e above a ~ a with Umlaut; etc.)
Anybody willing to transcribe this <font size="128">most
important</font> text?
