[Sca-cooks] Arte cisoria English translation?

[Johnna Holloway]

Ok I ran this to see what I could locate--

It's part of the online texts at
http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/FichaObra.html?Ref=708&proced=boletin_general_83
It's one of those volumes like the Forme of Cury that wasn't
published until the 18th century.

It was published with a concordance which might help in translation.
37 Enrique de Villena. Text and Concordance of Arte cisoria, Escorial
MS. f.iv.1. Edited by John O'Neill. (Madison, 1987) 8 pp. + 2
microfiches. (ISBN 0-942260-98-8) $10.00

There was a reprint--
Villena, Enrique de Aragón, marqués de, 1384-1434.

and another

As to anyone working on it. No one is listed on the Online Culinary MSS 
Project pages. You might ask on that list and see if anyone there knows
anymore about it.

Hope this helps,

Johnnae
