I can't speak all those languages, but i CAN translate the recipes. international copyright laws cover these books, too. but are all of us fortunate or perseverant enough to buy/own/ read/translate all of the above or others i don't have? because of the posting of the Mediaeval recipes, and there were MANY, i popped for the book (or one very similar, i didn't check the title). i was inspired! thanks! and i'll post some from books i have - just saying that such-and-such a book is good does not give any basis for comparison. if your local store doesn't have it, there's no way to know if you really want it, if you haven't read it or tried a few recipes, so how do you know if you really want to special order it? ///|\\\ /// \\\ //{o} {o}\\ ll " ll 'll ~ ll` lll lll ''' ```
