[Sca-cooks] Books of Trades

OK, here's Rubin's translation of Garlande on-line. Some weird mistakes  
here - translating "frumento"  as "fruit" rather than "wheat", for  instance.

Otherwise,  it occurs to me that any reader of French who does not care to 
plod through the  statutes has an excellent secondary source available: De 
la Mare's Traité de la  police où l'on trouvera l'histoire de son 
établissement, les ...  1719

"Police" here seems to mean "policy" as much as "police", the  work being a 
comprehensive history of various regulations on trades in Paris  (and also 
on the police in the usual sense). Here is the start of that on cooks,  
apparently with Boileau's regulation:
