Comment	Roberts (2019: 99): '(...) the manuscript has few fully integral texts outside of the introductory portion. Most of it is an artful assemblage of digested, distilled, excerpted, and epitomized texts—recipes, narrative, and theory—arranged in a loose structure that weaves together these different types of texts, both within titles and across the compilation as a whole.'
