[Sca-cooks] article on German cookery and profile

[Johnna Holloway]

Glad you liked the article.

I did a major TI article on all things Nostredamus as regards cookery.  
I then rewrote that article and combined it with another article on  
Alessio and published it again online. (The confectioners and the  
secrets they shared | by Johnnae llyn Lewis.) Those .pdf's seem to  
have vanished. Stefan should have a copy but it's waiting to be put  
up, I guess.

For reasons of length I did not want to go into all those  
bibliographic details in this article.
Hence the remark "See the Holloway article for more on the author and  
his works." I went into full details as regards the Boesler edition in  
those articles.
My gut feeling is also  if you are going to be interested in his  
recipes, you'll want the French editions of his works anyway. I'd  
recommend
          Nostradamus, Michael. Traite des Confitures.  Le Vray et  
Parfaict Embellissement 1557.  Paris: Gutenberg Reprints, 1979.  
[Facsimile of the 1557 edition entitled La façon et manière de faire  
toutes confitures liquides, tant en succre, miel, qu'en vin cuit.]

Or one can pull up those scanned editions up from the Bibliotheque  
Nationale.

I figured anyone who looked up the Aichholzer volume could get all the  
details. Unfortunately it's only held
by less than 60 libraries in the world, so the chances of one  
encountering it are perhaps limited. One can purchase it (US$ 101.95)
, but it's rather expensive. http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=48035&concordeid=76244

  ------
This article by the way was thought to be far too long, so more  
material would only have led to its probable rejection..

I hope this better explains the choices I had to make.
