SC - Period Pumpkin Recipes?

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

First, thanks for help on and off list.

Now, I've gone through what books i have and i have found recipes for
zucche
gowrdes
courges
and
congordes
but so far nothing with a name even vaguely like pumpkin.

Out of 6 recipes, the authors suggest using "winter squash or 
pumpkin" in 5 of them. One suggests zucchini. In three books the 
authors admit that winter squash and pumpkin were not available in 
Medieval Europe, yet recommend them none the less in their redactions.

Even if it isn't New World pumpkin, are there any European cookbooks 
that actually refer to pumpkin or pompon or pompion?

Books i have with original historic recipes are:
_The Original Mediterranean Cuisine: Medieval recipes for today_ by 
Barbara Santich.
_Pleyn Delit, Medieval Cookery for Modern Cooks_ by Constance B. 
Hieatt, Brenda Hosington, and Sharon Butler
_Early French Cookery: Sources, History, Original Recipes and Modern 
Adaptations_ by D. Eleanor Scully & Terence Scully
_The Medieval Kitchen: Recipes from France and Italy_ by Odile Rédon, 
Françoise Sabban, & Silvano Serventi
_Curye on Inglysch_ by Constance B. Hieatt and Sharon Butler (same 
recipe in Pleyn Delit)

Additionally, Curye on Inglysch mentions _Baghdad Cookery Book_, 
which i found in the bibliography of _Pleyn Delit_, as translated by 
Arberry, as having three recipes for gourds. I have a photocopy of 
Waines' book, _In a Caliph's Kitchen_ lurking somewhere, perhaps it 
has one of these (it does include the original recipes in translation 
in small type under the color photo of each cooked dish)...

Still searching for the mention of pumpkin or something like it in a recipe,
I remain,
