Hi Richard,
The list of actual ingredients may not matter too much to you. It does to me.
I want to check any such lists of ingredients with what I think is shown in the VMS. For this I need 15th Century lists, not lists from later times showing ingredients that would not have been available to the author of the VMS.
That is the reason for asking for those lists.
I don't know how anyone can say much about what the text says if they can't read it, or don't think they can read it.
Since I am delusional enough to believe I can somewhat read the VMS, lists of actual ingredients from the time of the VMS might be a good way to see if my ideas are correct or nearly correct. Trying to match recipes from hundreds of years apart using different or expanded lists of possible ingredients doesn't seem to be a logical thing to do.
Thank you.
