We have one manuscript which is a translation into English of the 
translation into modern Portuguese of a 15th-century Portuguese 
cookbook.  Full details: Um Tratado Da Cozinha Portuguesa Do Seculo 
XV (A Text on Portuguese Cooking from the Fifteenth Century)
Translated by Jane L. Crowley From a modern Portuguese text by 
Professor Antonio Gomes Filho. Copyright 1988 by Jane L. Crowley

This contains some interesting recipes, but it's impossible to 
determine where the recipe is translating the original and where the 
translator is filling in for herself - it reads more like a modern 
cookbook than a medieval one.  The collection used to be in 
Cariadoc's collection, but as far as I remember he removed it after 
discovering that he was infringing copyright. 

I have a scanned version of this, if you'd like me to send it to you.
