ABSTRACT

This work examines the interdisciplinary methodology currently used to study medieval technical manuscripts and recipe books from the Iberian Peninsula. The methodology is based on both formal and content analysis, including classic paleographic and codicological approaches and the use of scientific techniques on the physical medium, including parchment or paper, inks and pigments, and covers. From the point of view of content, the technical procedures described in the Hispanic recipes can be compared to those presented in other European texts and the technical literature of other historical periods. Not only has this yielded excellent results, but it has also allowed the experimental reproduction of the processes described in these recipes, permitting researchers to verify their validity and to reproduce forms of medieval knowledge with possible applications in the twenty-first century.

摘要

这项工作考察了目前用于研究来自伊比利亚半岛的中世纪技术手稿和食谱书的跨学科方法。该方法基于形式和内容分析，包括经典的古地理和古生物学方法以及在物理介质上使用科学技术，包括羊皮纸或纸张、墨水和颜料以及封面。从内容的角度来看，西班牙食谱中描述的技术程序可以与其他欧洲文本和其他历史时期的技术文献中的技术程序进行比较。这不仅产生了极好的结果，而且还允许实验再现这些配方中描述的过程，
