SC - Re: 12th C Anglo Norman ravioli, "Harpestraeng"+ ftp

[allilyn at juno.com]

I was reading the Florilegium file on  "Harpestraeng" yesterday.  I have
Cariadoc's Vol. I, in which it appears (in teeny, teeny print) and tried
to see if there was anything on-line about it beyond the file, which ends
with Nana's message that she will post her comparisons of the 3 versions
she has, after Pennsic.  Did you ever do that, Nana?

I also tried to get to Cariadoc + Elizabeth's site to see if the 
"Harpestraeng" had been webbed.  For some reason, I am now getting
'error' messages that a number of our favorite food sites are 'not on my
server'.  Well, they used to be!  Have addresses changed?  Is the
'Miscelleny' no longer webbed?  My old copy is on the dead hard drive and
the uninstallable Zip drive.  The ftp site for the sca-cooks archives
have only a few listings, for 2000, but when I downloaded the first of
them, I got April, 1997, instead.  What's happening, there?  Can anybody
straighten me out?

I have a pretty good magnifier for reading Vol. I, but it is hard to type
with that contraption resting on my wrists, so I was being lazy and
looking for another source of the 23 recipes.  Your Graces, would you
mind if I did type the  "Harpestraeng" and make the text available? 
Either here, or via the Florilegium?  IIRC, you sell the Vol. I, but not
for profit.

Regards,
Allison,     allilyn at juno.com
