I may have stumbled across a 13th century Chinese sherbet (not the frozen
kind, sadly) recipe. I'd like more context on them in order to inform my
interpretation. Wikipedia directs me to a Persian book called Zakhireye
Khwarazmshahi <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakhireye_Khwarazmshahi> for
the origin of sherbets - does anyone know if an English translation exists,
or have other resources? Wikipedia has a lovely full text scan... in
medieval Persian which is unfortunately not a language I can read.
