[Sca-cooks] DAWSON CORRECTION was Well, in *that* case... some recipes

[johnna holloway]

Greetings from Johnnae llyn Lewis

I do not which "edition" that
Lady Katherine Rowberd (mka Kirrily "Skud" Robert)
is making use of for her transcriptions that she
is posting here, but let me reassure everyone that
Thomas Dawson's Good Huswifes Jewell, 2 parts,
STC numbers 6392 and 6395 does in fact contain
"The table of the booke follovving gathered according
to euery folio throughout the whole Booke".
This section follows the first part of The
Good Huswifes Jewell and consists of 5 pages.
It does detail the recipes in the original
volume first part by Thomas Dawson.
Then "The Second part of the good Huf-wiues
Iewell" follows with "The Table" for that book
found immediately after the title page.
Both books do contain title pages.
This is the 1596 first part and the 1597 Second
Part. I would be most happy to provide a full
bibliographic statement for both for those that
cannot have their librarians locally provide one.
The work is course available in a 1977 facsimile,
on microfilm through UMI, and now online through
EEBO. It was reprinted in a combined edition by
Southover Press in the United Kingdom in 1996.
