Remarks
Footnote 62 cites a letter from the Collectio sangallensis (ed. K. Zeumer) recording gifts sent by a ninth-century bishop (likely Salomon II of Constance) to King Louis the German. These exotic goods included kermes (vermiculos), a leek-green color (coloris prasini), and various spices and resins like mastic (masticis) (p. 242).
