The Spanish can get close, though!
Not English language and not pre-1500, but I picked up "Ancient Agriculture"
last year or early this year. It is a compilation and translation of Gabriel
Alonso do Herrera's "Obra Agricultura" from 1513.
There's a mention of Spanish Peas on page 70. Would those be the same as the
type of peas discussed in this article? I can't tell from the description in
the book.
