ALASSA LIBER NONUS_ [2]

[1] It appears to us that Book IX and the following,
Book X, judging from its recipes, phraseology and from
other appearances is by a different author than the
preceding books. (Long after having made this
observation, we learn from Vollmer, Studien, that Books
IX and X were missing in the Archetypus Fuldensis.)

{Illustration: SHALLOW SAUCE PAN

The plain bowl is molded, the fluted handle ends in a head of the
young Hercules in a lion's skin, with the paws tied under the neck.
This corresponds somewhat to our modern chafing dish pan both in size
and in utility. This pan was used in connection with the plain
thermospodium for the service of hot foods in the dining room. Ntl.
