:''For the modern Greek flatbread, see lagana (bread)'' Tracta, tractum (Ancient Greek τρακτὸς, τρακτόν), also called laganum or lagana () was a kind of drawn out or rolled-out pastry dough in Roman〔(τρακτὸς, τρακτόν ) "dough drawn out or rolled for pastry," Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 and Greek cuisines. What exactly it was is unclear:〔Charles Perry, "What was tracta?", ''Petits Propos Culinaires 12:37-9 (1982) and a note in 14〕 "Latin ''tracta''... appears to be a kind of pastry. It is hard to be sure, because its making is never described fully";〔Andrew Dalby, ''Food in the Ancient World from A to Z'', ISBN 1135954224, ''s.v.'' 'Pastry', p. 251〕 and it may have meant different things at different periods.〔 ''Laganon/laganum'' was at different periods an unleavened bread, a pancake, or later, perhaps a sort of pasta.〔Andrew Dalby, ''Food in the Ancient World from A to Z'', ISBN 1135954224, ''s.v.'' 'Pasta', p. 251〕 ''Tracta'' is mentioned in the ''Apicius'' as a thickener for liquids. Vehling's translation of ''Apicius'' glosses it as "a piece of pastry, a round bread or roll in this case, stale, best suited for this purpose."〔Joseph Dommers Vehling, editor and translator, ''Cookery and dining in imperial Rome'' (1936, reprinted 1977), p. 127〕 Perry compares it to a "ship's biscuit".〔Charles Perry, "Old Non-Pasta", ''Los Angeles Times'' (March 05, 1997 )〕 It is also mentioned in Cato the Elder's recipe for placenta cake, layered with cheese.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=De Agricultura ), section 76〕 Athenaeus's ''Deipnosophistae'' mentions a kind of cake called καπυρίδια, "known as τράκτα", which uses a bread dough, but is baked differently.〔Athenaeus, ''Deipnosophistae'' 3:79〕 Some writers connect it to modern Italian lasagne, of which it is the etymon,〔''Vocabolario Etimologico Pianigiani'', 1907, ''s.v.'' (lasagna )〕 but most authors deny that it was pasta.〔〔Clifford A. Wright, "The History of Macaroni" ()〕 There is a modern Greek leavened flatbread called ''lagana'', but it is not clear when the name was first applied to a leavened bread. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tracta (dough)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
