[Spit-Project] Spit-Project Digest, Vol 26, Issue 3

Scappi is on-line, I believe, but I can't seem to find where I saved the URL for it <Sigh>.  I did download the full thing... try Google Books.  I think it is called "The Opera of Bartolomeo Scappi," but I'm not positive on that.

It has some decent recipes to try to figure out, too... well, the English translation of it does.  I think that is also available somewhere on-line... but a new book has recently been published on it as well... Devra sells it at Poison Pen Press (she is the bookseller Johnnae mentioned).

My spit, which is an adaptation of that spit in Scappi, was made by a friend as a gift.  But I'm thinking one other member of this list has made a better version of it.  Gunthar, do you remember who that is?

That appears in Scappi and is dated 1570.
You might try searching under Scappi and spits or asking about
Scappi's outdoor spit setup.
