Search Transcriptions

As the number of transcriptions of early modern recipe manuscripts grows, ways to access them have also changed. Now, polished transcriptions of many manuscripts in the Folger Shakespeare Library are available via the Folger catalog; FromthePage, meanwhile, offers access to EMROC transcriptions-in-process, from manuscripts housed at the Wellcome Collection and the Royal College of Physicians. 

In both interfaces, the searchability of the texts is of the original spelling, thus users will have to try several variations and anticipate orthographic quirkiness.

  • Search via the Folger Catalog
  • Search via FromthePage, for rough transcriptions of manuscripts held at the Wellcome Collection, Royal College of Physicians, and other libraries.

Our previous instructions for searching via Luna can be found here.
