Neither demands nor pleas nor bribery will avail you, since I don't have 
the whole translation.  Nor am I attempting it -- I've only translated 
on a piecemeal basis, when something struck my eye, or someone requested 
a particular kind of recipe.  I think all of the translations are in the 
Florilegium and/or the SCA-Cooks archives.  I'm sure I will continue to 
translate recipes from Granado, but not in any systematic way.

Two hundred forty-something (I'm too lazy to check the exact number).  I 
think that's about middling size for cookbooks of the era.

See above.
