What Johnnae said. Yes, the recipe is Old World, but I've used the recipe on New World pumpkin. I don't know which end of the 15th c it is from though. There is also a translation in the files on the Medieval Spain Yahoo Group, but you may have to be signed on to that group to see it. It is http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/kOpGTdL0vMOYaN9l1XMsPVTfAweeVjphIUq0cwGc8rOoXV9XGQyAzammyfUErFILVhQ5hUn-IR2TxhreiUzLme6CZ3lpSpVq/15th%20%26%2016th%20c.%20Iberian%20Food/Contents%20...%20/A%20Treatise%20of%20Portuguese%20Cuisine%20From%20the%2015th%20C.doc
