Here are some bibliographical notes on Platina and his culinary source,
Maestro Martino:

Beck, L.N.: Praise is due Bartolomeo Platina. A note on the

I for one am ridiculously impressed.  I have been searching the school library's
resources all day and, while I've doen some fascinating tangents, come up with
nothing other than he was the first Vatican librarian and he wrote De Honesta
Voluptae...

thank you soooo much...
