Dodonaeus (1618) - I have photographs of the book and the relevant pages on taro made when a bookseller in Japan showed me an original copy.

If nothing has been translated, perhaps we could work together to publish a translation of the text related to taro?

Best regards, Peter (please contact me c/o researchcooperative at gmail dot com).

How appropriate that you joined this network today! My own efforts in research and writing and editing, and the efforts of many others, have led to the publication TODAY of:

M. Spriggs, D. Addison and P. J. Matthews (2012) Irrigated Taro (Colocasia esculenta) in the Indo-Pacific: Biological, Social and Historical Perspectives (Senri Ethnological Studies 78). Osaka: National Museum of Ethnology. 363 pp., with index.

We have one chapter that focuses specifically on the food uses of wild taro in the Philippines. Xanthosoma sagittifolium is mentioned in two or three chapters. The print run will be distributed free, and we expect to release an online PDF edition eventually, after permission is obtained from our contributors.

Thanks for joining!

P.
