        and redactions.

Some of the Italian citations are from Tuscany, the Tr is from Venice. 
The Florentines visited the other cities a lot; cooks would compare notes
with their visiting compatriots.

They probably also had access to the Neapolitan Collection, a new version
in English just out by Scully.
