Recipe Details
Ingredients
iron salts, tannins
Evidence
"Discharge of the iron-based brown ink and pigment particles onto the heading interleaves, HC-QNL 1291"
Remarks
The ink from the main manuscript text and illustrations was found to have transferred or 'discharged' onto the protective interleaves (p. 12). This demonstrates the functional protective role the interleaves played by sacrificial collection of these degradation products.
