Recipe Details

Ingredients

Collagen, Tannins, Calcite, Gypsum

Preparation Steps

The parchment contains collagen identified by ATR-FTIR bands at 1030, 1080, 1340, 1400 cm-1, and Amide bands (AI, AII, AIII). Tannins were identified by bands at 1715 and 1280 cm-1. Mineral components include Calcite (1404 and 872 cm-1) and Gypsum (667 and 597 cm-1) (Table 2).

Evidence

"Middle-ages parchments have been explored on site, by means of complementary elemental and structural techniques: XRF, SSERS, ATR-FTIR and FORS."

Remarks

The study analyzed samples MEK-MS-7LP and MEK-MS-6LP from the Library of the Cultural Complex Lamnouni of Meknès (p. 6). Acidity levels (pH) ranged from 4.74 to 6.72 (Table 1).
