I know that many early 1600's sources are used...Digby being one of the 
more prominent examples.  We've discussed this in the past...and, with 
early 17th c. cookbooks, it's difficult to know whether the recipe is 
brand new, or one that had been in use in the 16th c.  So I have to 
think that these are acceptable as period.
