[Sca-cooks] More on Martino

[emilio szabo]

<< I am not clear on your quibble on the number. 
How many do you count? >>


I think my concern (not really important, to be sure) was to count single manuscripts and large groups of texts alike.


How would I count. Maybe this way:


In the Martino corpus there are four groups of texts.


First group: The Martino manuscripts (Italian)

1-1 Library of Congress manuscript

1-2 Vatican manuscript

...


Second group: The Platina corpus (Latin, vernacular translations)
(it includes Martino texts but adds medical information)

Numerous manuscripts and printings. (See Westbury, Milham)


Third group: The epulario corpus (Italian; English)

E.g. Venezia 1518; numerous
 editions.


Fourth group: hitherto unclassified, disputed or unaccessible manuscripts


<< Would this be interesting to anyone? >>


I have no idea. In one respect the size of the Platina corpus and the Epulario corpus might be important: 

in respect of the question, where and when Martino recipes were in use.


Thanks again.
