I can't speak to typical feasts, but I and some other people were
working from _Two Fifteenth Century Cookbooks_, _Al-Baghdadi_,
_Digby_, Le Menagier, Platina. I'm pretty sure that volume I of my
collection came out earlier than that. I don't think we had any
period German cookbooks, and the Andalusian and Ibn al Mubarrad
hadn't been translated into English yet. By AS XIII I would have
been doing feasts from primary sources for about seven years or so;
I'm not sure if anyone else was doing them earlier than that.
