[Sca-cooks] Ember Day Tart

[Cindy M. Renfrow]

Pegge wasn't a cook. He was also reading manuscript. There is a bit inset
between his pages xxx and xxxi. You can see that the hand is very ornate.
See the introduction to CoI, pp. 20-30 for the answers to your questions
about the different manuscripts.

>OK.  I've only ever seen the versions done by Pegge and by COI.  On the
>whole, I've worked enough with the Pegge version not to trust it AT ALL - too
>many words either skipped entirely (like saying "hit well" instead of "sethe
>hit well"), or words that make no sense at all - like describing small birds
>as being "ysasted and ystyned" when COI says "yfarsed and ystweyd".  I've

>than those presented in Curye on Inglysch?  Is the manuscript he was working
>from actually worded the way he worded it?
