Abstract
A little known medieval treatise on the techniques of manuscript illumination is discussed. Its relation with the Strasbourg manuscript is pointed out, and the use of a particular type of colorant in both manuscripts is studied. The possibility of identification of anthocyanin colorants by chromatographic and spectrophotometric techniques is discussed.
