We recently had a fairly long discussion on this cookbook, including some
of the recipes included in it and the various versions. I've made some of
this available as this new file in the FOOD-BOOKS section of my Florilegium:
Harpstrang-cb-msg (34K) 10/19/99    The Harpestraeng cookbook. The oldest 
                                       cookbook in the Western world.
