Recipe Details
Evidence
"In a first observation, the manuscripts' support displayed a reduced pliability and low mechanical strength... EDXRF analysis detected only the chemical elements of the paper support, indicating the presence of organic based red colorants."
Remarks
The support materials are generally in a state of degradation. Higher amounts of calcium oxalate were found in the paper of the Koran and Mss 19, suggesting significant binder degradation compared to European counterparts (p. 8).
