Hello.

Yes.

The citation should read something like, "passage excerpted from "LIBER
CURE COCORUM, a 15th-century Cookery Book in Dialect and Verse, Copied and
Edited from B.L. Sloane MS. 1986, with a Modern English Translation", by
Cindy Renfrow. Unpublished translation, copyright 2003. With additional
notes sent by the author in an email."

Regards,

Cindy
