Mine's 183 pages in 12-point Bookman. I'd like to add my thanks; I've
been looking for a putative Grewe translation of this for quite a while.

A quick question, though, for Cariadoc and Thomas, probably between the
two of you I can get some sense out of this...

If this is a new[ish] translation of the same text Huici Miranda worked
on, in a reputedly inexpert fashion, what new information was Rudolf
Grewe hoping to include in the translation _he_ was working on prior to
his death? Is it likely Grewe was unaware of Perry's recent work on this
mansuscript, or did he consider it somehow faulty? Grewe had stated that
he found Miranda's work seriously flawed, so had the Perry translation
and notes not already been published, I could understand the need for
such a project. 

Or am I thinking of two, separate, massive 13th-century Andalusian
cookery texts with over 300 recipes??? It seems unlikely.
