 Here it is, in Catalan.  Although the title says "perfume", it appears to 
 be solid pellets which are used as we would use incense.  I hope that it 
 is still of interest to you.

 CAPITOL XXX.  PER FER UN PERFUM MOLT MERAVELLOS
 
 Per fer perfum molt meravellos, tu prendras guoma dregant .ii. oz. e sia 
 remullada dos dies ab ayguas fines e benjuhi mige ll. e almesc una 
 draume e ambre una drauma e estorac .ii. oz.  E sia be molt, e puys 
 pendras una poca de siveta, e, com tot aso sia prest, tot ho pesteras e 
 com sia pestat be, ab un cano de canya o ab so que volras que sia ben 
 lis tu ho pleneras liscant liscant fins que tu conexeras que romaqua de 
 bona cruxa.  E com ho auras aplenat, auras un guanivet e fer n as 
 tauletes, e, com n auras fetes tauletes, aredonir les as en forma de 
 panets axi fet com mig cruant.  E con  ne volras perfumar, pendras del 
 panets e fer n as trosets e axi lansar n as sobre lo bresquet e 
 perfumeras so que voldras.  E si pahvets ne volras fer en lo pestar, 
 metras lo terchs de carbo de salser e fer n as los dits pahvets.
