Anthimus's recipe for hare is today's Latin quotation on the FOOD WORD
site. Anthimus claims it's good for dysentery (or rather, against dysentery), which sounds doubtful, but, who knows, it may be useful to somebody! Go here http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dalby/ephemeris/blog.html#6 for the original, and you'll find a link to a translation. Andrew |

I thought Anthimus was Byzantine. -- You're quite right. He was a Byzantine medic on the run, apparently, having been accused of treason. He became dietician/doctor to king Theoderic (not the famous one) who ruled in northern Gaul, around Metz, soon after 500 AD. The book was written in Gaul -- in excruciatingly bad Latin -- and the recipes were apparently intended for use there.
