The only surviving Medieval codex of Galician-Portuguese secular poetry: tracing history through luxury pink colors

Marcia Vieira et al.

Summary: The Ajuda Songbook is a unique illuminated manuscript, created in the late thirteenth century to early fourteenth century, that represents the only surviving codex of Galician-Portuguese secular poetry. With its vibrant colors, particularly the lapis lazuli blue and brazilwood pink, the manuscript showcases a desire to produce a luxurious work. Scientific analysis revealed different formulations for the pink shades compared to later books and reconstructions, shedding light on the earliest known use of brazilwood in artworks. By reproducing the colors using infrared spectroscopy and applying chemometrics, the main ingredients of the pink paint were identified as calcium carbonate, lead white, and a polysaccharide binder resembling mesquite gum.

Organic colorants based on lac dye and brazilwood as markers for a chronology and geography of medieval scriptoria: a chemometrics approach

Paula Nabais et al.

Summary: This study presents the first proof of concept for using molecular fluorescence signatures in medieval colors, specifically focusing on lac dye and brazilwood lake pigments. The researchers tested these medieval dyes as markers based on their UV-Visible emission and excitation spectra, and successfully characterized the spectral distribution and intensity, grouping the spectra according to recipe specificities. Statistical methods were then applied to analyze the fluorescence spectra, revealing unique outliers and confirming the placement of samples per group. This innovative approach sheds new light on the identification and study of medieval colors.
