[Sca-cooks] New (To Me) Resources

[Sam Wallace]

Hello,

I have been doing a round of web research and found the following items that 
I wanted to share:

Bibliographie Gastronomique by Georges Vicaire (pub 1890)
The ultimate list of cookbooks!

Two 16th century Polish herbals, O ziolach i ich mocy and Herbarz polski, 
plus a bunch of other interesting stuff can be found on this link:

I am looking for a copy of Kuchenmeisterei / Kuchenmeisterey / Kuchmistrz . 
I currently have a facsimile copy of a manuscript that I found online. 
However, it was written in several different hands, some of which I am just 
not up to deciphering. I know there was a facsimile edition of a printed 
version, but I am not having any luck finding it. I did find, I think, an 
original copy at Bibliotheca Gastronomica 
(http://www.antiquariat.net/gastronomica), an antique bookseller, but it was 
a little outside my price range. Go here if you are interested:

This brings up a search I did on the same site:

I was lookin for German facsimile edition cookbooks and found a few.

A number of facsimile editions of cookbooks from the 16th through the 18th 
centuries:

For those who can make it to the Los Angeles Public library, they have 
Castore Durante's Il Tesoro Della Sanita (1588); Domenico Romoldi's La 
Singolare Dottrina (1570); and Bartolomeo Scappi's Opera (1598) in the Rare 
Books section:
