I'm looking at de Casteau's Ouverture de la Cuisine and i have
noticed some unfamiliar measurements. I wonder what source would
explain them...
satin - a measurement of spices
sopine - a measurement of liquid
un voir - a measurement of liquid, e.g., "de malvoisie ou vin d'Espagne"
un reumer - a measurement of liquid, e.g., "de vin d'Espagne"
I don't just want to know what each is - i seem to have come across
the modern form of two of them - although i do want to know what they
are. But i am also looking for a resource that will explain medieval
measurements, or, as in this case, French measurements, when i run
across others - bearing in mind that many change over time exactly
what quantity they are.
