Evidence
"survey of the materials named in three early recipe collections... the Stockholm and Leyden papyri (third/fourth-century Alexandria)"
Remarks
The Leyden and Stockholm papyri are foundational texts dating to the third or fourth century in Alexandria (p. 289). They are considered two parts of a general opus that was later separated into different libraries (p. 290). These manuscripts served as the material basis for understanding the technological know-how of early Mediterranean craft industries (p. 289).
