https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks en-us The earliest copy of the Mappae Clavicula was a manuscript in the Benedictine monestary of Reichenau, dated to 821-822, which is no longer in existence. The translation below is based on the Phillipps-Corning Mappae Clavicula manuscript, currently in the Corning Museum of Glass at Corning, NY. This manuscript was translated by Sir Thomas Phillips and printed in the 1847 edition of Archaeologia. This manuscript is primarily concerned with metalworking and making of pigments, but scattered among the recipes are several that deal with creating "dye" liquids (used either to paint or dye fabric) and instructions for dyeing fabric and leather. http://www.elizabethancostume.net/dyes/mappae.html Tue, 25 Jul 2006 13:23:46 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=12662 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=12662 Links to related articles. http://www.florilegium.org/files/PERSONAL/idxpersonal.html Tue, 25 Jul 2006 01:44:38 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=12645 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=12645 This group hopes to explore perfume, cosmetics and soap from a historical perspective.

The volume is cobbled together from various chapters/volumes of the 16th c. bestselling work, the Secretes of Alexis of Piedmont. Originally published by Ruscelli in Italian, it was quickly translated into French, German and English. A number of different books and chapters on a number of different topics were printed. This document is a transcription of all of the recipes related to cleaning of fabric & textiles and dyeing of fabric, leather & other materials. http://www.elizabethancostume.net/dyes/alexis.html Thu, 07 Jul 2005 21:55:48 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=12658 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=12658
