I read Italian pretty competently, so if you (or anyone else!) would 
ever like to go over a translation of one of those recipes, I'm more 
than happy to chat.  Scappi's text is a little weird not only because 
it's archaic, but also because of the dialect...I assume Venetian, since 
that's where it was printed.  (I know Tuscan but everything else is 
foreign to me. ;)

My grand plan is to, someday, do a complete transcription and 
translation of Scappi, but even with the grand discovery of this online 
facsimile, I don't think I can do it until I get a real paper copy to 
work from.  Besides, being a student, I'm cursed with not ever having 
enough free time to do big projects like that.  But someday...
