True enough.  I'm still trying to track down ship manifests and monastic records of the time, just
to see if I can find a reference to the lemon or citron in Europe (England).  Another source which
I haven't hit on yet is information on estate orchards, or even Royal orchards of the time.  This
may seem like a case of 'backwards documentation', but it is more a curious examination to see if
lemons were used with any regularity during the time in question.  The lack of documentation in
recipes of the time is not an indication that the lemon was not widely used.  Merely that it was
not used in the written recipes we have available.
