Recipe Details
Ingredients
cellulose fibres, glucose monomers
Preparation Steps
A printed book without signs of restoration (p. 28). The analysis utilizes the I1100/I1376 Raman intensity ratio to estimate the age of the cellulose by correlating the number of unbroken inter-monomer bonds (p. 29).

Evidence
"“Nova Scientia” written by the mathematician Niccolo' Tartaglia (Nicolo Tartalea), dated 1537 CE, is a printed book with figures and realized on paper. It does not present any sign of restoration."
Remarks
In this 1537 CE text, a strong Raman signal at 1600 cm−1 was detected, indicating the presence of foxing (oxidation) (p. 28). The paper support was characterized using the 1064 nm line of an Nd:YAG laser to avoid fluorescence from inks and organic degradation products (p. 26).
