[Sca-cooks] Not Scappi, but M. Leonardo Fiorvanti

[Johnna Holloway]

Baroness Helewyse is using a copy of

Del compendio de, secreti rationale. Dell'eccell. dottore, & caualiero  
M. Leonardo Fiorauanti Bolognese. Libri cinque... Con la tauola di  
tutti i capitoli. Venetia : appresso gli heredi di Melcho Sessa, 1581.

and not Scappi.

It's the text that provides the cheese and dairying instructions for  
her article in the Florilegium. The following cheese and dairying  
instructions were found in an unlikely location, namely Compendio de i  
secreti rationali di M. Leonardo Fiorvanti Bolognese, Medico &  
Cirugico.  (The Compendium of rational secrets of M. Leonardo  
Fiorvanti of Bologna, Medic and Surgeon).  The full text of this  
document is available via BNF Gallica (http://gallica2.bnf.fr/ ).

Hope this helps
