[Sca-cooks] Andalusian manuscript

[Decker, Terry D.]

I did a quick check.  "La Cocina Arabigoandaluza" is referenced in
Cariadoc's recipe collection as "al-Andalusi" (which I was remembering as
referencing the Anonymous Andalusian Cookbook).  It is not one of the
translated cookbooks published on the site.

The work is a translation or partial translation of the "Fedalat Al-Jiwan fi
tayyibat al-ta'am wa-l-alwan" written by Abu l-Hasan 'Ali ibn Muhammad ibn
Abí l-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abí Bakr ibn Razin al-Tuyibi al-Andalusí,
probably between 1228 and 1243.

A few pages of the original text appear on Cariadoc's website in the
"cookbooks to be translated" section under the title,  Fadalat al khiwan fi
tayybat et-ta'am Wa-I-alwan by Ibn Razin at-Tugibi (Text as published in La
Cuisine andalou-marocaine au XIIIe siècle by Muhammad B. A. Benchekroun).

They are definitely not the same volume.

Anyone know if Rodine and Perry reference the "Fedelat Al-Jiwan" in
"Medieval Arab Cookery?"
