Depends on whether you want to purchase a copy for yourself...or find 
them online.  One of the best places to purchase period cookery books is 
Poison Pen Press...Lady Devra has 'most anything you could want.  And if 
she doesn't have it, she'll look into ordering a copy for you.  I know 
she has "Take a Thousand Eggs or more..."

Online sources are usually cited by folks on this list when they 
reference one...one of the most frequently cited resources is Stefan's 
Florilegium.  Another is www.godecookery.com, which has links to a 
number of great resources.  These are probably some of the best sources 
around for online information.  The "florythingy" as Master A refers to 
it, has all kinds of articles, messages, etc., that contain links to 
other sites as well.

Hope this helps!
