[Sca-cooks] Trying again: introduction and questions

[Julia Szent-Gyorgyi]

> Actually I chose Jókai because I can't read a word of Hungarian and I take my best guess at which words are the author's or editor's name.  ;-)

It's there in English, too:

"In 1862, the Hungarian author Jókai Mór, under the pen name Kakas
Márton, reported in the July 6 issue of the popular weekly magazine
Vasárnapi Ujság [Sunday News] the discovery of what he believed to be
the earliest known Hungarian cookbook, a short manuscript recorded at
the Thököly court in Késmárk (now Kežmarok, Slovakia) in 1601. ...

Magiar étkeknec főzése
Thököli Sebestyén Uram ő Nagysága Szakácha Szent Benedeki
Mihály által 1601, X. Augusti Késmárckon.

The Cooking of Hungarian Foods
by Michael of St. Benedict, chef to His Excellency Sebastian of
Thököl, August 10, 1601 in Késmárk."

The journal article from 1959 writes the author's name as
"Szentbenedeki Mihály", and that's what all the various footnotes and
bibiliographies use, too.
