I have the book in hand.  The article is in English, but -- alas! -- it
does not contain any recipes.  It is a discussion of the relationship
between dishes listed on actual historic menus and recipes found
in cookbooks of the same period.  Some recipe names are
mentioned, but it is not a useful source for someone planning a
feast.
