Interesting. Roast on a spit then take it off and boil it. Or is this only a little broth and wine and not enough to actually be boiling the meat?

How long are you supposed to cook it on the spit? Perhaps just to brown the
outside? Because it says to "let it cook therein" about the pot. So it doesn't
sound like it is already cooked on the spit.
It's not like parboiling either, though. Because it is cooking on the spit
first and then in the pot with the liquid. Not cooked/boiled in the liquid and
then roasted on the spit. Comments?
