- Resum
- Across the early modern period and well into the eighteenth century, recipe-book compilers named the author or donor for some individual recipes in their collections. Elaine Leong's study demonstrates that the majority of medical recipes were taken from either the compiler's circle of family and friends, or medical practitioners; however, the percentage of each category varied greatly between each manuscript. This chapter offers two case studies of seventeenth-century manuscript recipe books in the British Library, a copy of Lady Katherine Ranelagh's recipe collection, and two related recipe books from the Brockman family. Through these case studies of a recipe book associated with Lady Ranelagh and those of two generations of Brockman family women, the process of re-creating an individual's medical network only through attributions in his or her recipe book appears flawed.
