The oldest written receipe for cheesecake comes from the work of Martino
de' Rossi (d. c. 1468). It first appeared in publshed form in Platina's
<De honeste voluptate> (Rome, 1470; Venice, 1470). Its next appearance was
in Giovanni Rosselli's <Epulario> (Venice, 1517, English trans. from the
1579 ed., 1598).
