[Sca-cooks] boke of cokery 1500 -- Potage for somer season

[Johnna Holloway]

One recipe like this is probably ok, but I don't think you can  
reproduce the entire volume
in such a manner.

And there are recipes in the Pynson that are not in the Napier or the  
Holkham mss.
I've looked in the past because I own the Pynson on microfilm in a  
readable version,
I own the Napier from 1882, and I also own the Holkham mss on a cd.

There are differences between all three.
