[Sca-cooks] Fwd: … Archetypal Cookery

[Susan Fox]

I'm rather tempted.

Did you look at the "Sepulchural Souvenir"?  It is a bookplate circa 
1924 for the manucript's then-owner, Joseph D. Vehling.  One of the less 
favorite translators of Apicius, if memory serves.  I adore the 
skull-in-toque illustration however.
