(It turns out that the correct name for that section is "Remedies", that is, medicinal substances -- what pharmacists of the time called "simples". But who cares about the truth?)
This above (from Antonio's thread) just reminded me to ask for clarification. You had said that you found a term in a recipe re red rooster, that matched a vms word which appears to occur at the same frequency, and that sounded very promising.
However it did not do so in the copy I had found at the time. Can you show this correspondence visually with whatever copy you are using and the starred paragraph you have linked with it, just in case i didn't compare with the correct one? It seems to me that if this is true, that other correspondences would be able to be made.
