Best Recipies
Mustard Greens
Anthimus p. 37
Mustard greens are good, boiled in salt and oil. They should be eaten either cooked on the coals or with
bacon, and vinegar to suit the taste should be put in while they are cooking.
1 1/4 lb mustard greens (including smaller stems)
1 t salt
3 T oil
4 slices bacon
4 t vinegar
Wash mustard greens. Boil stems two minutes, then add leaves, boil 6 more minutes and drain. Fry
bacon (6 minutes in microwave). Heat oil, add greens and stir, then add salt and cook five minutes.
Crumble bacon and put over greens with vinegar. Stir it all up and cook another 3 minutes.
Icelandic Chicken
Icelandic p. 218/D1 (GOOD)
One shall cut a young chicken in two and wrap about it whole leaves of salvia, and cut up in it bacon
and add salt to suit the taste. Then cover that with dough and bake like bread in the oven.
5 c flour
1/2 lb bacon
3 T dried sage (or sufficient fresh sage leaves to cover)
about 1 3/4 c water
3 lb chicken, cut in half
Make a stiff dough by kneading together flour and water. Roll it out. Cover the dough with sage leaves
and the sage leaves with strips of bacon. Wrap each half chicken in the dough, sealing it. You now have
two packages which contain, starting at the outside, dough, sage, bacon, chicken. Put them in the oven
and bake like bread (325deg. for 2 hours). We find the bacon adds salt enough.
The part of the bread at the bottom is particularly good, because of the bacon fat and chicken fat. You
may want to turn the loaves once or twice, or baste the top with the drippings.

Roast Chicken
You will roast a chicken after it has been well plucked, cleaned and washed; and after roasting it, put it
into a dish before it cools off and pour over it either orange juice or verjuice with rosewater, sugar and
well-ground cinnamon, and serve it to your guests.

Cook pork in the oven or boil it about 20 minutes. Make a pie crust, prick it, and put it in a 400deg.
degree oven for about 10 minutes. Mix remaining ingredients. Cut pork into small pieces and add to
mixture. Put it in the pie crust and bake at 350deg. for about 40 minutes.
Hais
Take fine dry bread, or biscuit, and grind up well. Take a ratl of this, and three quarters of a ratl of fresh
or preserved dates with the stones removed, together with three uqiya of ground almonds and
pistachios. Knead all together very well with the hands. Refine two uqiya of sesame-oil, and pour over,
working with the hand until it is mixed in. Make into cabobs, and dust with fine-ground sugar. If
desired, instead of sesame-oil use butter. This is excellent for travellers.
2 2/3 c bread crumbs
2 c (about one lb) pitted dates
1/3 c ground almonds
1/3 c ground pistachios
7 T melted butter or sesame oil
enough sugar
We usually mix dates, bread crumbs, and nuts in a food processor or blender. For "cabobs," roll into one
inch balls. Good as caravan food (or for taking to wars). They last forever if you do not eat them, but
you do so they don't.

Famous People in Italy
DANTE ALIGHIERI
Durante Alighieri (Dante being a nickname) was born in Florence in May or June 1265, into a low-
aristocracy family, who were not very wealthy, of the Guelfo party. Dante himself went onto become a white
guelfo. In about 1285 he married Gemma di Manetto Donati, and they had three or maybe four children.
Dante’s first studies were mainly in rhetoric, grammar, philosophy, literature and theology. He was a disciple
of Brunetto Latini, who strongly influenced Dante’s cultural growth. In his youth, he was a Stilnovo poet
and had many friends among the other members of the Stilnovo Poetical School, especially Guido
Cavalcanti. After the death of Bice di Folco Portinari, with whom Dante was in love, he began studying
philosophy and theology in depth, also attending some of the Florentine cultural associations, which provided lessons mainly
about Aristotle and St. Thomas.
His political career began when Dante joined a Medical Corporation in 1295. In the following five years his career grew
quickly and culminated in his becoming a priore, a type of governor, in 1300. However, due to serious internal struggles
between the white and black guelfi Dante made some hard-line political decisions, which resulted in him being sentenced to
death.
From this moment on, Dante roamed many Italian courts never again to return to Florence, He died in Ravenna, in 1321 and
was buried in San Pier Maggiore’s Church where his tomb still exists today.
Dante wrote many works including the Vita Nuova, Convivio and De Vulgari Eloquentia. However the Divina Commedia
(Italian for "divine comedy") is Dante’s masterpiece and is the best literal expression of medieval culture. The Dante’s original
title of the work was simply Commedia, but then Giovanni Boccaccio suggested adding the adjective Divina ("divine") in order
both to explain the kind of content and to celebrate the greatness and beauty of the work. Dante’s main purpose in writing
the Commedia was to preach the necessity of a moral and religious renewal for everybody, in order to get ready for the
after-life and to ascend to Heaven, eternally saved. Dante acts as a prophet who speaks on behalf of God to the whole
mankind.
GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO
Boccaccio’s father, a wealthy bank merchant from Certaldo and a man of some prominence in Florence,
had gone into business in Paris although he soon abandoned Boccaccio’s mother and returned to
Florence where he sent Boccaccio to school until he was ten and then took him into business. In 1327
Giovanni was sent to Naples to study law, but he gave himself up almost entirely to literature, and
became intimately acquainted with some of the most prominent men and women of the court of Anjou.
In 1340 ha came back to Florence and on the death of his father in 1348, he became the guardian of a
younger brother. He held certain public offices in Florence and was entrusted with diplomatic missions to
Padua, the Romagna, Avignon, and elsewhere. After 1350 began his friendship with Petrarch, which lasted
until the latter's death in 1374. In spite of his advanced age and the political dissensions in Florence which
afflicted him sorely, in 1373 he began his course of lectures in Florence on the poems of Dante. He died
two years later at his ancestral home in Certaldo.
Boccaccio's works include the "Filocolo", his first work written in about 1340, the "Ameto", "Amorosa Visione", the "Teseide",
probably of the year 1341, is the first artistic work in ottava rima. The "Ninfale Fiesolano", a short poem in ottava rima, is the
best, in style and invention, of the minor works of Boccaccio. The "Vita di Dante" (about 1364), based chiefly on information
furnished by contemporaries of Dante, remains one of the best lives of the poet.
The book with which Boccaccio's name is inseparably linked is the "Decameron", which was finished in 1353, but part of
which had probably been written before the Black Death reached its height in 1348. The "Decameron" opens with a masterly
description of the terrors of the pest, and we are then introduced to a gay company of seven ladies and three young men
who have come together at a villa outside Naples to while away the time and to escape the epidemic. Each in turn presides
for a day over the company and on each of the ten days each of the company tells a story, so that at the end one hundred
stories have been told.
FILIPPO BRUNELLESCHI
Brunelleschi was born in Florence in 1377 and received his early training as an artisan in silver and gold. In 1401 he entered,
and lost to Ghiberti, the famous design competition for the bronze doors of the Florence Baptistery. He then turned to
architecture and in 1418 received the commission to execute the dome of the unfinished Gothic Cathedral of Florence, also
known as the Duomo. The dome, a great innovation both artistically and technically, consists of two octagonal vaults, one
inside the other. Its shape was dictated by its structural needs—one of the first examples of architectural functionalism. This
was the first time that a dome created the same strong effect on the exterior as it did on the interior. In other buildings in
Florence, such as the Medici Church of San Lorenzo and the "Spedale degli Innocenti", Brunelleschi devised an austere,
geometric style inspired by ancient Rome. Brunelleschi's style of “wall architecture,” with its flat facades, set the tone for

15. Chapel, he moved away from this linear, geometric style to a somewhat more sculptural, rhythmic style. This style, with its
expressive interplay of solids and voids, was the first step toward an architecture that led eventually to the baroque.
Brunelleschi was also an important innovator in other areas. Along with the painter Masaccio, he was one of
the first Renaissance masters to rediscover the laws of scientific perspective. He executed two perspective
paintings (now lost), probably between 1415 and 1420, and he is also credited with having painted the architectural
background in one of Masaccio's early works. His influence on his contemporaries and immediate followers was
very strong and has been felt even in the 20th century, when modern architects came to revere him as the first
great exponent of rational architecture. Brunelleschi died in Florence in 1446.
His revival of classical forms and his championing of an architecture based on mathematics, proportion, and
perspective make him a key artistic figure in the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era.
CENNI DI PEPO, ALIAS "PIETRO CIMABUE"
Florentine painter, born 1240; died after 1301; the legendary founder of Italian painting and reputed master of
Giotto. According to Vasari some Greeks who had settled in Florence were Cimabue’s masters, but he soon
surpassed them. When he completed his famous "Madonna", the people bore it in triumph to Santa Maria Novella,
with such jubilation that the area where the painter lived was afterwards called the Borgo Allegri.
All this has since been proved untrue, and is attributed to the zeal of Vasari, the Italian historian of art, for the
glory of Florence, his native city. It needed all the patience of the modern critic to right these wrongs. It is now
established that the famous "Madonna" of Santa Maria NovelIa, called the "Madonna Ruccellai", is the work of Siena
Duccio di Buoninsegna, who painted it in 1285 and is proved by the discovery of a contract preserved in the records of Florence.
Also, it has been discovered that the triumphal procession to which Vasari refers in his account of Cimabue was held not in Florence,
but in Siena, in honour of another masterpiece of this same Duccio, the great Maestà, or "Madonna of Majesty", which may now be
seen at the Opera del Duomo in Siena.
Therefore it can be seen that all the elements of Cimabue’s biography are untrue. Duccio was forgotten, and his acheivements
remained attached to the name of Cimabue, which explains his mention in a verse of Dante’s, which preserved the name of Cimabue
for posterity. There was nothing more to do but create a biography and a list of works and let legend do the rest.
However, it can be seen from Dante’s verses that Cimabue was a renowned master in his time. A recently discovered text tells
us that Cimabove, pictore de Florencia, resided at Rome in 1272. In 1301 he received ten "livres" from the Opera del Duomo of Pisa
for "St. John the Baptist" in mosaic, which accompanies the "Christ" in the cathedral. Here our certitude ends. Aside from the "St.
John" of Pisa, a mosaic which has been much repaired, we have not a single work of Cimabue. Some critics ascribe several paintings to
him, but it rnust be admitted that in the absence of documents these surmises were without ground.
LEONARDO DA VINCI
Born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, just outside Florence, Leonardo was the illegitimate son of a 25-year-
old notary, Ser Piero, and a peasant girl, Caterina. Growing up in his father's Vinci home, Leonardo
had access to scholarly texts and was also exposed to Vinci's longstanding painting tradition, and
when he was about 15 his father apprenticed him to the renowned workshop of Andrea del Verrochio
in Florence, where he was an apprentice until 1477 when he set up a shingle for himself.
In search of new challenges and money, he entered the service of the Duke of Milan in 1482,
abandoning his first commission in Florence, "The Adoration of the Magi". He spent 17 years in Milan,
leaving only after Duke Ludovico Sforza's fall from power in 1499. It was during these years that
Leonardo reached new heights of scientific and artistic achievement, painting and sculpting and designing elaborate court festivals and
designing weapons, buildings and machinery. His studies from this period contain designs for advanced weapons, including a tank and
other war vehicles, various combat devices, and submarines. Also during this period, Leonardo produced his first anatomical studies.
After the invasion by the French and Ludovico Sforza's fall from power in 1499, Leonardo was left to search for a new patron

16. and over the next 16 years, Leonardo worked and traveled throughout Italy for a number of employers. About 1503, Leonardo
reportedly began work on the "Mona Lisa".
From 1513 to 1516, he worked in Rome, maintaining a workshop and undertaking a variety of projects for the Pope. He
continued his studies of human anatomy and physiology, but the Pope forbade him from dissecting cadavers.
Following the death of his patron Giuliano de' Medici in March 1516, he was offered the title of Premier Painter and Engineer
and Architect of the King by Francis I in France. Although suffering from a paralysis of the right hand, Leonardo was still able to draw
and teach. He produced studies for the Virgin Mary from "The Virgin and Child with St. Anne", studies of cats, horses, dragons, St.
George, anatomical studies, studies on the nature of water, drawings of the Deluge, and of various machines.
Leonardo died on May 2, 1519 in Cloux, France. Legend has it that King Francis was at his side when he died, cradling Leonardo's
head in his arms.
