Recipe Details
Evidence
"The texts are written with black carbon-based ink."
Remarks
The ink is used to write texts in Old Bengali script (p. 382). A sudden change of ink is noted on folio 47 recto, marking a point where the scribe (likely Vanaratna himself) did not immediately continue writing the second group of texts (p. 384).
