===========================
Warner was a prominent English antiquarian and divine.
This work was one of the first to examine the history of early English cookery, at the forefront of a scholarly movement that developed over the last three centuries of the Eighteenth Century.

Contains:

Warner's detailed introductory notes;

The Forme of Cury, copied from an ancient vellum roll thought to have been compiled about 1390 by the master cooks of Richard II;

Ancient Cookery, A.D. 1381, another collection of recipes from the same vellum roll;

"Ancient Cookery," a collection of recipes from a fifteenth century manuscript but which almost certainly dates from a much earlier period;

Ancient Recipes to Preserve Fruits " from the mid-Seventeenth Century";

and account of the enthronement feasts of George Neville as Archbishop of York in the reign of King Edward IV, and of William Warham of Archbishop of Canterbury in 1504
