Recipe Details
Evidence
"in DaK 46, red, green and yellow inks were used to highlight the titles and important words in the text."
Remarks
The use of red, green, and yellow inks is specifically noted for manuscript DaK 46 to highlight titles and key terms (p. 107). This contrasts with the more common two-color system (black/brown and red/purple) found in the rest of the corpus (p. 106).
