[Sca-cooks] The French Issue of the Gauntlet

[Johnna Holloway]

Glad you found it and liked it.

The bibliography French Medieval and Renaissance Cookery and Cookbooks
  was released after I left for the UK, so I was unable to make an  
announcement until now.

It can be found here--

As far as I can determine Le théâtre d'agriculture was never  
translated into English... probably because the English had their own  
rich history of agricultural writings by people like Gervase Markham.  
(Some French works were adapted for an English audience. Markham did  
rely upon and work on an English translation of Charles Estienne's  
Maison Rustique.)
