Remarks
This entry refers to architectural pigments and dyes used in the renovation of a religious structure (the Shafi'i madrasa) in Bulaq, Cairo, during the late 18th century (1189 AH). The text mentions 'alwan' (colors) and 'asbagh' (dyes or pigments) specifically for the interior decoration of the dome (p. 653).
