The Brezel or Pretzel
Bread in the shape of a Brezel (modern German word) or Pretzel (Americanised) is an old one. Here are the three earliest manuscript depictions of a Brezel that I have, so far, been able to find:
- Ottonian Manuscript MS. Ludwig VII 1, fol 38, produced in 1030-1040AD in Regensburg Germany. The folio depicts the Last Supper, and among round bread and fish there is also a brezel on the table.
- English Manuscript from Corpus Christi College Cambridge MS373 3895B. It was made in the 12th century and depicts the wedding feast of Matilda and Henry V (Holy Roman Emperor) in 1114 AD. Again the brezel is on the table along with round bread, knives, dishes and bowls.
- The last is from the "Hortus deliciarum" a manuscript written between 1167 and 1185 in Hohenburg, Alsace. The image depicts the biblical story of the marriage of Esther to King Ahasuerus, and again there is a brezel on the table among the other foods.
