Recipe collection, Amberg 1574

[mmcnealy]

I'm off looking for more information about the wines noted in Sabina Welserin's recipes. I found this book of recipe collections from 1574 that the University of Heidelberg has digitized. Its not transcribed, and in a period hand, making it hard to read. On the other hand, its a really cool digital find!

Edited to add:
I have got to learn how to read period hands! The University of Heidelberg has digitized about 45 pre-1600 medicinal recipe collections, all hand written.

"I have got to learn how to read period hands!"

I learned alot of skill from doing genealogy. Really all it takes is a little practice and learning to recognize the alphabet in handwritten form. It's harder though when the words are foreign!!

The period hands are pretty. :-) Do you have a favorite medieval redacted recipe?
