rusty orange paper

Evidence

"The Chester Beatty Library, for example, owns a treatise on traditions dated Wednesday 12 Jumada II 754 (15 July 1352) that includes ten folios (fol. 17, 19, 22, 24, 26-31) of rusty orange paper interspersed among 145 cream-colored folios."

Remarks

This color is described as more common in manuscripts produced in the second half of the fourteenth century (p. 25). The author points out that these colored folios are interspersed with standard cream-colored paper, suggesting intentional aesthetic choices within a single volume (p. 25).
