should point to most of the rest.

Tallan Family wrote an amazing list of Primary Sources English or
Translated Sources. Even got me on some and I appreciate now having
those web sites. What a nice Christmas present, thank you very much!
There is one citation that has me a little lost as it seems to be an
advertisement for a restaurant in Barcelona but you write:
al-Tuyibi al-Andalus? (Spanish c.1228-1243) (Archived)
(http://web.archive.org/web/20050206154555/http://www.ateneu.com/
I assume you are referring to a translation of Fernando de la Granja
Santamaria's doctoral thesis. At David Friedman's instigation I tried
to locate his heirs in Spain to obtain permission to translate the
entire text into English. None of the Granja's listed in the Madrid
area phone books knew anything about his heirs. As I felt I was
running around in circles over that one, I only translated published
the 30 pages he published of excerpts that I found available at the
National Library in Madrid. (I must admit I have done nothing with
that). Granja's entire translation is at the Computense University of
Madrid. I did not go to see it in spite of the fact that Granja seems
to have done an amazing job in his translation. I would be very
interested in finding it on line if indeed it is. Alas it appears to
me that you mean to site:
http://www.elsgnoms.com/receptes/arabigo.html
which is a reproduction of Granja's published excerpts in Spanish. It
has been on the web for years and is very nice as it includes pretty
pictures while the original 1960 publication has none.

Indeed I did mean to cite the latter, which appears to be affiliated
with the same restaurant (Atenu) in the link that no longer functioned.
Thanks very much for the correction!
