The title means: Old Danish herbals, minerals and cookbooks. No, minerals is
probably all wrong but I can´t remember the correct English term - the
literal translation of "stenbøger" would be "stone books". The cookbooks are
the two Danish manuscripts I´ve been translating some recipes from (the
"Harpestreng-manuscript"), but it does not include the Icelandic
manuscript.. I believe Stefan has a Harpestreng-file in the Florilegium.
