I'm not sure if you are only looking for primary source material or not.
If not, perhaps these two files in the COMMERCE section of the
Florilegium might fill in some blanks in the measurements you already
have:
measures-art      (21K)  1/ 5/98    Definitions of many medieval
measurements
                                       by Marc Carlson (Diarmaid)
http://www.florilegium.org/files/COMMERCE/measures-art.html
measures-msg      (74K)  6/ 7/99    Period measures and cautions for
recipes.
