Folks, most of it's post-period, but there are some really interesting 
things here.  The site has digitized full-text facsimiles of various 
books relating to food in several languages.  In the 16th century 
category, there is a 1593 Italian carving manual.  I don't read 
Italian, per se, but I know enough French and Spanish to read the 
table of contents.  It includes instructions on how to carve a turkey. 
 It also includes menus of some elaborate feasts.  (Eden, do you 
need a new project?)

The 17th century section includes Markham, May, Woolley, and 
"The Queens Closet Opened" (Lots of good stuff on candying and 
perfumery.)

The site is at the University of Barcelona, so the navigation buttons 
are labelled in Catalan, but they're pretty simple.
inici -- beginning of the work
enrera -- one page back
endavant -- one page forward
anar_a -- jump to (put desired page number in search window)

Thomas, this is lovely stuff.  Thank you!
