Interesting. The only other mention that I've seen of horseradish is
eating the root, usually made into a paste or sauce.
Does anyone know of any other use of, period or modern, horseradish
leaves?
Perhaps they are just too bitter for folks to want to eat them
voluntarily. I assume that, unlike the root, they are not "hot".
For those who might be interested in horseradish root eating see:

Also, does horseradish grow in the Middle East? Or is this use of
horseradish leaves as a bitter herb something that the Jews picked up
in Europe?
