Recipe Details
Evidence
"A parchment page containing a diagram of a vein man has also been inserted between pp. 76 and 79."
Remarks
Footnote 77 details the physical construction of the quire in MS Ashmole 1438. While primarily composed of twelve leaves, a separate parchment page featuring a 'vein man' diagram was inserted between pages 76 and 79. This highlights the modular and composite nature of medieval recipe collections (p. 128).
