[Sca-cooks] Epulario 1517

[David Walddon]

There are significant changes from the 1517 edition to the English
translation. It is not the source material for the translation (at least not
entirely).
I have the microfilms for both and have compared them (not in depth) but
enough to know that there is additional info.
If you are looking for something to translate Westbury is a good place to
start. There are several carving manuals that would be good projects.
