"Libre de totes maneres de confits".  It's a 14th century Catalan 
manuscript, containing 33 recipes for preserves and candies.  It has not 
been published in book form.  The text was reprinted in a 1947 issue of 
a Spanish journal.  The recipes are in 14th century Catalan; the notes 
and glossary are in modern Spanish.  I have a photocopy.  I can read it 
well enough to understand and paraphrase, but not to really translate.
