Welcome to SCA-Cooks.

> (Rabbits...wow.)

Well, if I may... You might be interested in these files in the Florilegium:
In the FOOD-MEAT section:
rabbit-dishes-msg (44K)  6/29/01    Period rabbit and hare recipes.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-MEATS/rabbit-dishes-msg.html

And in the ANIMALS section:
rabbits-msg       (20K)  1/17/00    Medieval rabbits. As pets and food.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/ANIMALS/rabbits-msg.html

> I am a student at the aforementioned St Katherine's =
> College (mka UC Berkeley), and this is the start of my 3rd year in the SCA.=
>   I was interested in the history of cooking long before I knew the SCA exi=

>  period cookery books in stores, but maybe I've been looking in the wrong p=
> laces.  I'm hoping this list will prove a good resource, too. :)

You might also find these files useful.
In the FOOD-BOOKS section:
merch-cookbks-msg (10K)  8/31/99    Merchants selling period cookbooks.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-BOOKS/merch-cookbks-msg.html
online-ckbks-msg  (23K)  4/11/01    Online versions of period cookbooks.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-BOOKS/online-ckbks-msg.html
  (I've got a bunch more to add to this file)

There are also some cookbook reviews and annotated bibliographies in this
section. They might help you know the good ones from the bad ones
before you spend money on them.

I hope this helps.
