[Sca-cooks] citrangula in Avicenna or in Ioannes Damascenus

[emilio szabo]

> Scully says citrangula means lemon. 
> Maier says citrangula is a bitter orange.
> Both refer to fourteenth-century texts. 



Which texts? Which languages?


French? Latin?


The Manoscritto Lucano is in Italian.

whereas Gallesio, to whom they refer, ascribed it to "le Damascene", which could or should be 

Ioannes Damascenus.
