SC - Symeon Seth (11thC) on foodstuffs. What else?

[Thomas Gloning]

Recently, Phlip mentioned that someone was preparing a translation of
Symeon Seth based on a French version (Brunet 1939). Symeon Seth was an
important 11th century byzantine writer on dietetics and foodstuffs.

Yesterday, I got an interesting, if somewhat obscure booklet by
"Gymnasialrektor Dr. Georg Helmreich", entitled "Handschriftliche
Studien zu Symeon Seth" ('Manuscript investigations about Symeon Seth';
Ansbach 1913). In the first place, Helmreich criticizes the edition of
Langkavel (1868) in various respects; he says that the older editions
are still valuable, especially the Bogdanus edition Paris 1658.

According to Helmreich, Symeon Seth was widely read in the Middle Ages;
his text is extant in many manuscripts now in Paris, Milano, Modena,
Venice, Oxford, Vienna, Moscau, the Athos and Munich (p.32f.).

Here is what I have found on Symeon Seth and his book on foodstuffs so
