This is a recipe that I translated.  It is not from de Nola.  It is
from Diego Granado (Spanish, 1599), and may well be one of the
hundreds of recipes he pinched from Scappi.  In any case, it is very
late period Mediterranean.  I should have included the author in the
citation (bad librarian!  No bizcocho!), since the title -- like so
many others of the era -- simply means "book of cooking".

The wording would indicate two separate sauces.
