[Sca-cooks] Good Housewife's Jewel (Dawson)

[johnna holloway]

Dawson, Thomas
The good huswifes [sic] jewell / Thomas Dawson.
 Norwood, N.J. : W. J. Johnson ; Amsterdam : Theatrum Orbis Terrarum,
1977.
2 v. in 1 This is a 1596 first part and a 1597 second.

This is the facsimile that I own and use. It cost $14 when I bought
it back in 1978. It's reproduced in the order of the original copy
that is at Oxford. Black's edition reorders the recipes. Also the books
date from the mid-1580's, which is a fact that somehow escaped Black
too.

It's also up on EEBO and has been microfilmed.
