    Recipes out of Bilibid

    Rare Books

    Col. "Chick" Fowler was an American West Pointer who arrived in Manila in late 1941, just prior to the war. He was captured in Bataan, went on the Death March and endured POW life in Camp O'Donnell, Davao and Bilibid. During his imprisonment, he compiled recipes of meals dreamed of by all POWs. To while away the time, he wrote down (on the insides of envelopes from the few letters the Japanese allowed to get through) recipes of all types from his friends, many of whom he acknowledges. The recipes include Filipino, Chinese, French, Italian and other dishes, reflecting the different backgrounds of the prisoners. His aunt, Dorothy Wagner compiled Col. Fowler's collection in standard form and tried them all, creating a unique cookbook.

    Modo di affinare e partire l'oro dall'argento, et altro belle cose segrete, che non sone molto volgare

    Manuscripts

    An apparently unpublished treatise on gold refining. The unknown author describes recipes for different methods of refining and assaying, giving practical advice as to what type of vessels and what type of ovens to use. He seems to have been a master of a mint, as he appends two long lists, one of silver, the other of gold coins issued from various Italian, French, Hungarian, German and English mints, and all current in Italy in 1526. He lists the alloys and the correct weights of more than 100 different coins. Includes one marginal sketch of a test tube. In Italian.
