''Le Viandier'' (often called ''Le Viandier de Taillevent'', ) is a recipe collection generally credited to Guillaume Tirel, alias ''Taillevent''. However, the earliest version of the work has been dated to around 1300, about 10 years before the birth of Tirel. The original author is unknown, but it was not uncommon for medieval and early modern recipe collections to be plagiarized, complemented with additional material and presented as the work of later authors. ''Le Viandier'' is one of the earliest and best-known recipe collections of the Middle Ages, along with the Latin ''Liber de Coquina'' (early 14th century) and the English ''Forme of Cury'' (c. 1390). Among other things, it contains the first detailed description of an entremet. ==Manuscripts== There are four extant manuscripts of ''Le Viandier''.〔; Scully 1988 is the first edition to collate all four extant manuscripts; an English translation of the 220 recipes is included..〕 The oldest, found in the Archives cantonales du Valais (Sion, Switzerland), was written in the late 13th or very early 14th century, and was largely overlooked until the 1950s. It is this manuscript that calls into question the authorship of Tirel, but a portion of it is missing at the beginning, so the title and author given for this earlier work are unknown.〔〔 A manuscript from the 14th century housed in the Bibliothèque Nationale (Paris), was formerly thought to be the oldest. The version in the Biblioteca Vaticana (Vatican City), is from the early 15th century. The fourth extant version is in the Bibliothèque Mazarine (Paris) and also dates to the 15th century. A fifth version from the 15th century is known to have existed in Saint-Lô, in the Archives de la Manche. It was referenced by Jerome Pichon and Georges Vicaire in their 1892 monograph, ''Le Viandier'';〔 however, the Saint-Lô manuscript was destroyed by fire on 6 June 1944〔 during the invasion of Normandy. In the Valais manuscript there are about 130 recipes.〔 There are variations from manuscript to manuscript, both in their original form and in what has been preserved or lost over the centuries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le Viandier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
