On the second day of Christmas: a compilation of medieval and early modern cooking references I've found online. This is more of a gift to myself, in that the eclectic spelling makes it difficult to search for some of these by name, even when I know which book I'd like to use.
The Forme of Cury (c.1390)
Two Fifteenth Century Cookbooks: Harleian MS 279 & 4016 (c. 1430-40 & c.1450)
Wynkyn de Worde's The Book of Kervynge/ The Book of Carving (1508)
Le Grant Cuysinier de Toute Cuysine (1550, French)
The Good Husvvifes Jevvell/ The Good Huswifes Jewell (1582)
A Book of Cookrye (1584/1591)
Edward Allde's The Good Hous-wiues Treasurie/ The Good Housewife's Treasury (1588)
A Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchin (1593)
A Boke of Cookerie and the Order of Meates to Bee Serued to the Table (1629)
Gervaise Markham's English Housewife (1631)
Hannah Wooley's The Cooks Guide (1664)
The Closet of the Eminently Learned Sir Kenelme Digbie Kt. Opened (1669) Transcription.

W. Carew Hazlitt's Old Cookery Books and Ancient Cuisine (1902) lists additional early cookbook titles, some of which I have not yet found available online.
