JOHANNA MARIA van WINTER

Throughout a long teaching career in academic life in Holland, Johanna Maria van Winter has specialized in the study of food and drink in the Middle Ages. She has contributed very many pa-pers to learned journals and specialist conferences which have been gathered together here within a single volume. The papers are printed here for the most part in English but with some German and French texts.

The subjects break down into four groups: Medieval Food Habits; The Netherlands and their Neighbours; Fasting and Feasting; Food and Health. Invariably the work is founded on a close study ofwritten sources, eitherthe medieval records oftowns and feudal lords of The Netherlands, early printed cookery books, or the best international scholarship.
Some of the topics discussed in this volume are:

Fasting and asceticism in the Middle Ages
Fish recipes in late medieval and early modern cookery books
The use of cannabis in two cookery books of the fifteenth century
Green salads in the Renaissance
Invalid food in the fifteenth century
Regional cookery of the Low Countries in the later Middle Ages
Festive meals; dining as a means of communication
The role of preserved food in Dutch medieval households

Johanna Maria van Winter is a retired professor in Medieval History at the Utrecht University (The Netherlands). She received her doctorate in Utrecht in 1 962 with Knighthood and Chivalry in Guelders and Zutphen. She also has written Sources concerning the Hospitallers of St.John in the Netherlands, 14th-I8th centuries, 1998. and The Hospitallers of St. John in the Netherlands.
