SC - PPc and Libro del arte de cocina

[grizly at mindspring.com]

de alli = from here  (opposite of alla, meaning "there")

despues = then  (as in "and then, to cut the long ribs" y despues cortar las costillas de largo)

estan = they are (third person plural of estar transient state verb meaning "to be")

hanse = most likely the second lerson of the verb form hanser 

vn = seems to be actually UN, which means one

Haziendo appears to be a forebearer to haciendo (gerund form of hacer, to have) hence, haziendo vn corte al trabes por medio means "having one, cut to the middle beams"

I offer this alternative trnaslation:

(you) Cut from the sheep chest

********  The chest of the sheep is cut, having one cut to the middle beams, and from there you cut as much meat as you will be able to remove, then to have pedacos of ternillas and huessos to tier, and then to cut the ribs lengthwise, such as they are, and hanse to us to divide one by one  ***********

adds more to the picture, but not completely.  I hope this has been helpful.

Greetings and Salutations

I have been remiss to not have thanked the lady from South Africa for the 
copy of the PPC article on Chinese cooking.  Thanks again.

Also I have just received a copy of Libro del Arte de Cocina por Diego 
Granado. 1599

Trying to use an on-line translator(ok stop laughing) I am getting a lot of 
it, but could use some help.  Below is what the book had and then the 
translation given.  Thanks for any help.  No Stefan I have not looked at 
your files yet for Spanish cooking terms or words yet.

Corte del pecho de carnero

El pecho del carnero se corta, haziendo vn corte al trabes por medio, y de 
alli cortaras tanta carne como pudieres sacar, despues hazer pedacos de las 
ternillas y huessos tiernos, y despues cortar las costillas de largo, assi 
como estan, y hanse de partir vna a vna

Court of the sheep chest

     The chest of the sheep is cut, haziendo vn it cuts to the beams by 
means, and of
     alli you cut as much meat as you will be able to remove, despues to hazer
     pedacos of ternillas and huessos to tier, and despues to cut the ribs 
of length, assi
     as they estan, and hanse to us to divide vna for vna

estan = to be

Hanse = hand?

A Portuguese to English translation as an experiment to seen what a similar 
language might  give.

Cut del pecho of carnero

     El pecho del carnero if cuts, haziendo vn cut al trabes for medio, y 
of alli cuts as
     much meat as pudieres to draw, despues to hazer pedacos of las ternillas y
     huessos tiernos, y despues to cut las costillas of plaza, assi as 
estan, y hanse to        break vna vna


Thanks
Lord Frederich
