curiouser and curiouser.

How about this one "A Fifteeth Century Cookry Boke" compiled by John
L.Anderson, Illustrated by Adrienne Adams, published by Charles Scribner's
Sons New York 1962. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 62-15109.
    The back fly leaf reads:

        "Taken verbatim, except for errata, from the following material made
available by the Early English Text Society:  Harleian MSS 279 ( about 1430
A.D.) and 4010 ( about 1450 A.D.), in the British Museeum, and Ashmole MS
1429, Laud MS 553 and Douce MS 55 ( about 1450 A.D.) in the Bodleian
Library."
The glossary begins with " These recipes have not all been kitchen-tested
for your protection ; you are entirely on your own."
Who could resist that?  Should I mention that it cost me less than 10 bucks
at a used book store. I love this town!
