Recipe Details
Preparation Steps
The manuscript uses black mensural notation as the primary system for recording music by Ugolino da Orvieto (p. 447). While the exact chemical formulation (e.g., iron-gall or carbon) is not detailed in the musicological analysis, it is the standard medium for the fifteenth-century 'Ars subtilior' repertoire described in the study (p. 441).

Evidence
"All three compositions are notated in black mensural notation."
Remarks
Black ink is used throughout the codex for the primary musical notation of the three unique compositions by Ugolino da Orvieto. Large portions of the manuscript were previously 'undecipherable' until the application of multispectral imaging by Janke and Nádas, which revealed the original ink layers (p. 447). The script is identified as an 'Italian humanistic book hand' from the mid-1400s (p. 446).
