The Liber de Coquina (The book of cooking/cookery) is one of the oldest medieval cookbooks. Two codices survive from the beginning of the 14th century. Both are preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, France.
The text consists of two independent parts, mostly cited as Tractatus (part 1) and Liber de Coquina (part 2). The titles are taken from marginal notes by the medieval editor. While the identity of both the authors is unknown, it is believed that the Tractatus was originally written by a French author and the Liber de Coquina by an Italian author from the Naples area.
The two parts are available at Thomas Gloning's site:
