[Sca-cooks] Translations - re Old French Ailliee or whatver

[Johnna Holloway]

And in my case I was just supplying a place to find what
Master A asked for when on 5/1 at 7:33 PM

"Anybody gots a copy of "Opusculum de Saporibus" handy??? I could have 
sworn I had a pdf, but it looks like I may have to go ransacking

through the stacks of smudgy photocopies..."

Adamantius

This version that Thomas provides is online and available.

Many of us probably have paper copies of "A Mediaeval Sauce-Book" by 
Lynn Thorndike
Speculum, Vol. 9, No. 2 (Apr., 1934), pp. 183-190. That version is on 
JSTOR now. 

There's another version or paper of course: 

Scully, Terence. "The *Opusculum de Saporibus* of Magninus 
Mediolanensis." Medium Aevum, v. 54, no. 2, 1986: p. 178-207.


but again it isn't freely online yet. I can't provide a link to that one 
or the Lynn Thorndike paper.
