I assume that since he says Arberrys version was not a good translation 
and he erased all the notes from the margins.
"As the pioneer translator of medieval Arabic recipes, young Arberry 
wolved a number of problems presented by this text, but inevitabily he 
got things wrong, and in Medieval Arab Cookmery I ventured to correct 
his translation on a few points. On closer examination, I have found 
many more mistakes, some of them rather shocking. They simple show that 
Arberry -like most academics, past and present- was interested in 
literature, but not in cookery".
Perry says the problem was that Arberry and all other scholars were 
depending on Chelebis transcription of the original manuscript from 1934.
