Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text
Used as a rubrication agent for chapter titles, story headings, and poetic separators (p. 70). Variations in the 'red shades' suggest either different hands or the use of multiple pigment batches during the production of the 262-folio manuscript (p. 70).
Evidence
"the separations (story or chapter titles, for example, or the ‘hā’-s of the verses), are in red."
Remarks
The red pigment is explicitly used to facilitate the visual structure of the text, separating the prose anecdotes and marking the beginning/end of poetic verses (p. 70).
