Please bear (!) with me and help me with some questions:
How and where can I access these dictionaries? There is more than one, right? Which languages are these dictionaries about? I mean, "simineus" seems to be latin, "placenta" is latin. Is this from a Latin-Latin dictionary?
I find "simnenels" in several web documents, is this something that is found in a 13th century dictionary?
If i am not mistaken, "placenta" is used for all sorts of cakes. How do we know that there is a special connection to Easter food habits?
Comments?
