Original Recipe Text
The manuscript features extensive use of decorative colorants. Pigments are found in 'headings and borders in red and green' and 'red rubrics, lines and dots' (p. 161). Additionally, 'yellow borders within green lines' are noted, as well as a 'varicoloured endpiece on pp. 47–48' (p. 161).
Evidence
"headings and borders in red and green; red rubrics, lines and dots; crude headpieces on pp. 1, 47, 60, 61; yellow borders within green lines"
Remarks
The use of yellow borders nested within green lines indicates a specific physical layering or aesthetic choice for framing the text (p. 161). The headpieces are described as 'crude', suggesting a non-professional or provincial production context for this collection of vocabularies (p. 161).
