[Sca-cooks] REPLY: Trenchers--Books

[johnna holloway]

I am seeking references to trenchers in both primary and secondary
sources
for a paper I am preparing.  Does anyone have any references handy?

Having sent the definition in a previous message, I will
send along a couple of citations to books that I don't think have been
mentioned.

You didn't include a time period, so I am including some material
that is post 1600.
