There are over a dozen sites on the net that reproduce a sample of
recipes from the Apician cookbook which are said to have been
translated into English from a German book. I'm sure many folks here
have run across these mirrored sites.
The text (replicated on all of them) says:
From: hz225wu at unidui.uni-duisburg.de (Micaela Pantke)

Micaela apparently said:

>My humble person only translated the German translations into
>English. I hope the recipes are still rather near to the originals...
I just did a search on Bookfinder.com for this both in English and
using the German language option and came up empty. Has anyone
actually run across this book?
I am not looking for some other translation of Apicius. I've got
Flower and Rosenbaum's translation, and Andrew Dalby's books on Greek
and Roman food, and Dalby and Sally Grainger (The Classical
Cookbook), and Patrick Faas (Around the Table), and Ilaria Giacosa (A
Taste of Ancient Rome), and Mark Grant (Roman Cookery)
And i know that Sally Grainger is working on a translation of Apicius
- i assume with worked out recipes - and i've heard that Mary Ellen
Milham is supposed to have one coming out soon.
I'm just curious about this supposed German source that is posted in
so many places on the web.
