The commonplace book of Countess Katherine Seymour Hertford
A transcription of University of Pennsylvania Ms. Codex 823.
The University of Pennsylvania catalog describes this manuscript as,
"Commonplace book written in England, beginning with copies of selections
from the Psalms; with a copy of the deathbed statement of Lady Katherine
(presumably Lady Katherine Grey); and with a section of medicinal and
culinary recipes at the end."
The text is hand written in ink on velum, apparently by more than one
person as the handwriting changes notably on several occasions.
This transcription includes only the recipes, which start on the back side
of leaf 13.
