My pardon if you've already seen this, but I thought if you hadn't that 
you might find some of this useful. Here are a few of the files in the 
Florilegium that have to do with breads and breadmaking. Included in 
the breads-msg file (I think) are several of the half-dozen period 
bread recipes that are known to exist.
