It's also worth noting that the "A Noble Boke of Cokery" available for
sale from http://tudorcook.blogspot.com/ is not the same text as the "A
Noble Boke off Cookry" available online for free at
http://www.medievalcookery.com/etexts.html
The free, online text ("A Noble Boke off Cookry") is a transcription of
a single 15th century manuscript, as presented in a book published in
1882 by Robina Napier.
