Yes, that's what I've got. It includes a copy of the text and, I  
think, the chapter from de Villanova's Regimen Sanitatis on sauces for  
tempering health issues connected to diet, believed by many to be  
essentially the same text. No translation, but an odd discussion that  
resembles a sportscaster's play-by-play.
"And then he says..."

But it's nice to have the Latin text available, at least.
