This book contains Cariadoc and Elizabeth's recipe collection, plus a collection of articles and poems. Except for recipes, everything is by Cariadoc unless stated otherwise.
The material was written as a result of our activities in the Society for Creative Anachronism, a historical recreation organization. The society's historical period is pre-seventeenth century and it focusses mainly on European cultures and cultures that had substantial interaction with those of Europe within that period.
The poems are in a wide range of styles; those set to obviously modern tunes should perhaps be limited to post-revels and similar occasions.
If you wish to reproduce or reprint anything in this book, you may do so subject to the following conditions:
1. The material should be accompanied by a credit line giving the source (this book), the author, and crediting the original source (given at the end of each article) if any.
2. Any article, poem, or recipe that is quoted must be quoted in full, with no changes, deletions, or additions.
3. If you are making more than 500 copies, you must first get permission from the author.
4. This permission does not apply to "An Epistle," page 175, nor to "Making a Medieval Single-Pole Pavilion" on page 229, neither of which was written by us.
If you would like to discuss any of the issues raised in the articles, exchange recipes, volunteer to translate cookbooks, or correspond with us on any other subject, our address is:

Pennsic I: Before the Battle |
336 |
I hope that there may be a market for my collection, and that the result of my labours, and the physical exertion of putting down in writing, may not be wasted. It would be something, if it only proved better than blank paper&emdash;please God, whom I pray to direct my utterance, and to adjust all my actions; to protect me from errors, mistakes and aberrations. Truly he may be counted on for that, and speedily realizes that which is hoped for from Him. He "is sufficient for me," to Him I at all times resort, on Him I rely; there is no power nor strength save in Him, a right good Master and Trustee is He.
al-Muhassin ibn 'Ali al-Tanukhi
