Original Recipe Text

Possibly used for greens similar to 12th and 13th-century Portuguese monastic production. Identified exclusively in Alfonso's scriptorium and absent in the Ajuda Songbook (p. 293-294).

Evidence

"As well as bottle green, only identified in Alfonso’s scriptorium... indicating its earlier chronology compared to the Ajuda Songbook."

Remarks

The presence of bottle green and absence of mosaic gold in Alfonso's manuscripts suggests an earlier production date than the Ajuda Songbook (p. 294).
