this specifically to be a collection of 16th century recipes collected
very, very early in the seventeenth centry.   By using the vague and
arbitary skips of 100 year intervals to define "period", SCA authorities
miss the forest for the trees.  This is clearly an Elizabethan document,
whether or not 4 years pass before it was all written down.
This is significantly different from Digbie.  You might as well discount
the full volume of Gerard as it was published in 1633 enlarged from an
earlier printing.  The bulk of the work of compilation, illustration and
authorship though was pre 1600.
Fettiplace has a convenient and clear date of 1604, which IMHO is
good enough to be considered Elizibethan and in period for the spirit
of what the SCA purports to do.
