OK, I have bad news on the Italian front, out of all the manuscripts I can track down, photocopy, get my hands on online, find in bibliographies there are only three translated into english.

1) neapolitan recipe collection - scully, essentially a martino late 14 - early 15th 

2) The anonymous venetian cookbook, 14th C Italian, online (still a work in progress)

3) The libro novo of Cristoforo Messibugo, translated by Master Basilius Phocus of the midrealm and coming soon to a website near you (he promises). 

Umm, that's it.  Sorry, for a full bibliography you can check out my webpage at http://www.geocities.com/helewyse/italianbibliography.html

it contains links to those books online and those translations that are available.  If you want to work on an Italian translation we have the resources.  

For other languages you may want to check out: http://www.thousandeggs.com/cookbooks.html

Which has a link to many of the culinary manuscripts of many languages and their translations online.
