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.
