About
"Contains over 260 manuscript receipt books, each of which was a highly valued, inherited piece which handed down wisdom and tradition from mother to daughter, and each of which is an important source for historians of medicine and diet, gender, familial and social relations, and knowledge formation. As well as remedies for medical ailments, the manuscripts contain cookery and other household recipes, and in some cases even veterinary advice"--Publisher's foreword.
