It's all here, with notes on translation, substitutions, missing words, etc. 
There are no recipes (redactions?), but the original is there in detail.  Free
too, which makes a nice change from $2000 if you're more interested in the info
than having a book.

I am also having a look at 'The Art of Cooking The First Modern Cookery Book' -
which is actually an english translation (with recipes) of the Platina texts:
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Cooking-Cookery-California-Studies/dp/0520232712

and

Melitta Weis Anderson's 'Food in Medieval Times':
http://www.amazon.com/Food-Medieval-Times-through-History/dp/0313361762

Interesting Reading.  Anderson's book is especially good, as it discusses the
food of different regions, and how they changed throughout the period.

The Melitta book was suggested by Johnnae llyn Lewis in Gauntlet (thanks!)
