I can't help but wonder if the Turkish "coffee mills" that are advertised in 
several catalogues could be period...and, as such, might have been used to 
grind spices as well.  I know coffee isn't really period in Europe, but 
something of this sort might have been used by those using the Baghdad Cookery
