[Sca-cooks] Fwd: [CALONTIR] not too crass crass commercial announcement, sort of

[Stefan li Rous]

I'm not even sure what these books are or what a Motet is, but a  
number of folks here seem to be interested in different period  
manuscripts and not just cooking or food ones, so I thought I'd send  
this along.
