Recipe Details

Evidence

"The second problem is charring of the borderlines due to destructive chemical reaction of what has been suspected as green copper acetate pigment or verdigris."

Remarks

The pigment, identified as suspected verdigris, has caused severe chemical damage to the manuscript. Specifically, the reaction on the 'border lines of text area' has 'damaged the paper, causing corrosion of paper fabric, discoloration and charring' (p. 59). This specific deteriorating feature was identified as one of three main hazards affecting the volume's overall physique (p. 64).
