MarcoP: Just noting that "affaran" reads to me as "Czafferan", i.e. saffron.
The next word reads to me as "Czatafferan".
I think they are different words for the same ingredient. The author may have included ingredients from different sources in different languages, not realizing that they were the same herb.
Or perhaps I'm wrong, and there is some variety of saffron known with a prefix in some language.
I feel quite confident on the "saffron" interpretation, though!
