I'm not sure that I've seen any definative info tracing the dish we  
think of as "paella" to our time period. I remember asking about  
paella myself in the past. While I don't have a file specifically  
dedicated to paella, if you go to the Florilegium and use the search  
engine on the top page there, you will find a handful of references.
