This is fascinating. Please keep us posted. 

As to Norman Sicily, I would suggest looking at some dietetics texts. If you 
can get your hands on the Viaticum, count yourself lucky (I haven't yet), but 
the Salernitan Regimen Sanitatis should be easier. This was written in 
Salerno around that time and reflect local practice and contemporary medical 
opinion. 

Another thing you might want to look at are the Anglo-Norman Cookery 
Books.They are not italian, but from what I read about Norman Sicily it seems 
they retained quite a bit of their traditions. 

> The Norman Kingdom of Sicily - Matthew

Is this any good? I just bought a new German book on medieval Sicily, and I'm 
looking for more info.

Grazie

Giano
