Are you speaking of a modern dish? Or one that was made before 1600? 
I'd be interested in more info, even if you are speaking of a modern 
dish. We have discussed the possibility of period baklava before and 
it's possible source, but so far the recipes and descriptions we have 
are only similar to modern baklava.

You can find some of the info on these early baklava-like dishes in 
this file:
