[Sca-cooks] Basque, Northern Spain, Catalan, Southern France

[Micheal]

 For the first not yet do I speak or read Spanish or the other languages, 
but I will sooner or later at least read them.
  Second modern translations of  Northern Spanish, Basque , Catalan, 
Southern France  period books would be great or I do double work with an 
online dictionary .

 P.S.
  Thanks for the list so far.
