Are we talking about the Sabina Welserin (I think) recipe calling for
the marzipan mixture to be formed on top of wafers/oubleys, which are
overlapped to the correct overall size? (There is an extant modern
German tradition of baking things on top of wafers; they're available
commercially in various German-interest shops, such as German butcher
shops, and seem to be thinner even than pizelles, sometimes with a
basic waffle pattern.)
