     I agree. Perez makes up text that is not from the original Catalan 
MS, nor is this one taken from Villena but as my aim in my research to 
show the meanings of words such as  "albanar" in medieval text to our 
students and share them with us researchers, you  are going to find my 
definitions and references helpful as in my post on Wed, 24 Nov 10:

     In general when dealing with Nola, I use the Catalan MS and when in 
doubt check with the Iranzo text. She seems pretty faithful and reliable 
with the Catalan text that we have.
     Missing text is the frustration of medieval researchers that is 
nothing new.
     Perez also adds recipes that are not in the Catalan text - beside 
this introduction about kitchen hygiene and cleanliness in which the 
word appears, I think his recipe additions debatable.
