[Sca-cooks] Menagier de Paris manuscript and analysis

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

I'm sure many people here know the Menagier de Paris. I wonder how many  
have ever seen Pichon's original copy of the manuscript?

Also,  for those who don't know Nicole Crossley-Holland's Living and Dining 
in Medieval  Paris, she convincingly identifies the author as a minor 
knight and even shows  his (since demolished) house. The book overall is a very 
interesting analysis of  various aspects of life in the period.
