- Vibal's Boxer
- Description:
- A companion piece to Antonio Morga’s book is an untitled, handwritten account about the Philippines and its neighbouring countries. The account took on the name “The Boxer Codex” after Charles Boxer who discovered it. It seems to have been penned a little before Morga’s arrival in Manila. One explores, through the Codex, ingredients common to continental Asian cuisine and insular Asian food. Vibal offers a transcription of original Spanish text on left hand pages, while English translations are on right hand pages.
