I'm pretty sure that Meyer lemons are a modern cultivar, dating from the 
18th or 19th century. Nevertheless, I see no reason why you couldn't use 
the things in any recipe calling for lemon juice, pulp, or zest. There 
are a number of limuwiyya/limuniyya recipes in al-Baghdadi, the 
Description of Familiar Foods, and the Anonymous Andalusian Cookbook, to 
say nothing of the various medieval and Renaissance European cookbooks.
