[Sca-cooks] The Old Foodie on medlars

[Johnna Holloway]

Actually that date is wrong. The Treasurie of Hidden Secrets is the third Partridge volume to be published. It appears under that title in 1596.

The 1573 Partridge that I edited and contributed to medieval cookery.com. is this one...

1573	The Treasurie of commodious Conceits 
J. Partridge
J. Holloway (transcr.)	ENM	transcription

I explain about Partridge and his books in the introduction.
