Fermentation as preservation (wasRe: hist-brewing: Retro-documentation)

[Nick Sasso]

Thank you so very much for posting anything you run across.  I'll look
for this source you listed.  Mayhaps some of my herbal or cooking
friends has this at hand.  Let me know if there would be anything I
could assist you with as well.

Likewise, I'll try to get a borrowed copy of Gerard's Herbal to paruse
on these items.  Very late period, but a good source.

pushing the deadline for writing the  handout for a class I'm teaching
Saturday.  Since I'll be running through the sources this week anyway
I'll put them up here as I run across them.  The first is post period
but does fit the request for sources that proscribe fermentation as
preservation:
