I don't know.  The word does not appear in the 1726 edition of the Royal 
Spanish Academy's dictionary.  Certainly the modern recipes contain 
New World ingredients like tomatoes.  De Nola has a recipe for an oven-
baked rice-and-meat casserole*, so it is conceivable that a rice dish 
similar to paella was being cooked in period.  But I have not seen any 
mention of one.

Brighid, in pre-Pennsic-panic mode, who shouldn't even be reading the 
list right now, let alone posting.

*Call me a spoon tease, if you like, but I don't have time to provide this
