Seriously, though, we can be pretty certain that a period English  
recipe calling for raisins of Courance is referring to dried grapes  
of the little variety found on some Mediterranean islands like  
Corinth and Zante. 

Okay lests we not see what it obvious, i.e. the forest for the trees

roysonys of courance 
raisins of Corinth

Hmmm... raysonys are raisins  could courance be Corinth?

Did this get noted in a previous post that I missed?
