doing it again

[ppfuf]

 A plan is forming to create another PerfectlyPeriodFeast, perhaps at fall collegium in 2010. We'll give this one a proper name.

A Spanish feast primarily based on Rupert de Nola, (c.1529, Nola wrote in Catalan for the Aragonese court in Naples. Aragon and Catalonia covered much of the same ground. Aragon is a political unit and Catalonia is a cultural region.[thanks, Juana!]) Other Spanish sources to be determined, hopefully from 1520-1560. Anybody who can read Spanish, please look over the books listed here: http://www.bib.ub.es/grewe/grewe1.htm and let me know if they are really about food. 

If you'd like to get into this project early, please drop me a line and I'll send you an invite to the yahoo group. The same yahoo group as last time, in case you are already on it.

The Claudii Galeni (Galè, Claudi. De alimentorvm facvltatibvs libri III.) has what looks like an index or some other sort of reference table with food words included (pg 3 ff). I was not successful following the references, however. The little I can read leads me to believe this may be more about medical uses of food.

There's greek here and there in the text, too, just to add spice.

Bad puns cost you a nickle. You're still a Kate, no matter how far you wander.
Thanks for looking. I had assumed it was Spanish, since it's from the library in Barcelona. My bad. If I find any spanish sources written in spanish I'l forward them to you and shutt3rg33k.
