would come closest. There's a dated 1545 first edition
with an undated circa 1557/58 edition that belongs to Corpus Christi
at Cambridge. This is the edition that Frere edited back in 1913 and
Ahmet edited recently. (There's also a 1575 and 1576.)
Mary I is of course Mary Tudor, not Mary of William and Mary.
Robert May's cookbook was first published in 1660, although
its based on his long lifetime.
