It's the work of Janet Clarkson and dates from 2006. She leaves off the definitions when she included this menu in the two volume Menus from History. I put it up because The Old Foodie version was an accessible version that I didn't need to retype. I don't know if I'll have time to look these over or not, as I have three articles due this week.
