Recipe Details
Evidence
"The use of thick wet paint while retouching the damaged areas in some cases has penetrated the paper fiber and has left prominent brownish stains on the reverse of the page."
Remarks
This entry refers to modern or later restoration efforts where 'thick wet paint' was used for retouching (p. 60). The 'fresh paint' has initiated 'non-reversible destructive reactions' (p. 60). Specific instances include the restoration of Juniper trees on folio 37-a which left stains on the reverse folio 36-b (p. 60), and the repainting of arches and mosaic decorations on folio 53-b leaving marks on folio 54-a (p. 61).
