Another source of old Arabic cook-books is Spain of the period when the Moors were there. Two manuscripts have been recently published, both from the thirteenth century. The first, the Kitab Fada-lat al-Khiwan fi Tayyibat al-Ta’am wal-Alwan, translated by Fernando de la Granja, was published in Madrid in 1960 under the title La Cocina Arabigoandaluza segun un Manuscrito Inedito. Another translation by Huici Miranda, published in Madrid in 1966, is the Traduccion Espanola de un Manuscrito Anomimo del Siglo XIII sobre la Cocina Hispano-Magribi.
