Page 299--omitted p. added--"Title pages, Venice, 1503, p. 262; ..." Page 300--Rebecca amended to Rebekka--"Wolf, Rebekka, writer, {Rx} 205, seq." Page 300--Wooley amended to Wolley, and entry moved to correct place in index--"Wolley, Mrs. Hannah, writer, {Rx} 52" The following have also been noted: The author has consistently used minuscle rather than minuscule when referring to manuscript. Since it appears deliberate, it has been preserved as printed. Page 9 has a word obscured--"one of three known famous ---- bearing that name". Another source of the text has the word as 'eaters', so the same has been used here. Page 23 has a reference to a "modern" sauce, A I.

Page 175--recipe 305 has a marker for note 2, but no note with that number. Page 189--recipe 351 has a marker for note 2, but no note with that number. Page 211--recipe 405a has a marker for note 2, but no note with that number. Page 226--there is no title for recipe 445. Page 230--there is no Latin translation provided for the heading "EEL". Page 243--recipe 481 is titled "FISH STEWED IN WINE", but does not mention wine anywhere in the recipe itself. Page 284--contained incorrectly placed index entries for CLIBANUS, CNICOS and CNISSA (following COXA). These have been moved to the correct
