Recipe Details
Evidence
"In most uroscopies, the colour of the urine is identified through two means: a colour term and a simile, comparing the colour to everyday substances such as cabbage stalks, apple, milk, ink, and lead."
Remarks
The text discusses uroscopies as a site where vernacular voices interact with Latin terminology. Ink is listed among everyday substances used in similes to help identify the color of urine, serving as a gloss for Latin terms (p. 53, 56).
