  5. Rome, Biblioteca Casanatense MS 2265, fol. 91r, describes the making of the
    blue glass. On fol. 88r, the manuscript describes the actual processing of the glass
    into a pigment for painting: "A macinare ismalto azuro che poi pingere in suo
    colori. Pilia il smalto et rompelo sotile poi macinelo sopra il porfido cun sorro
    de ovo cun uno pocho di melle. Masinalo sutile como vopi et se andasse secondo
    azonze uno pocho de aqua. Et quando e masinato lava fora il mele et 10 ovo
    cun l'aqua e remanera cossa bellisima."

    The result of this recipe is a complex copper resinate/oleate compound. This
    recipe shows that copper resinates were not always made of Ve nice turpentine
    as is generally assumed on the basis of a description in De Mayerne's treatise.
