Thanks, Helewyse!

I was specifically looking for a 15th century Venetian recipe for codigniato
that was supposed to be in the Arte della Cucina by Faccioli.  Are there
other codigniato recipes that are earlier than that?  I've checking Platina
(Milham's version), but didn't have handy access to other Italian sources.
I'm preparing condoignace from _Le Mesnagier_ (1393-1394 Paris) as an A&S
entry and was doing a run through of similar recipes from just prior and
just after that from some of the other countries around France.  I don't
think I want to go as late as Scappi, that's almost two centuries later.
