Summary

Five leaves from a Fleury manuscript that contains, alongside medical recipes, the oldest treatise on the production of binding agents. Therefore, this text, which has only survived here, is extremely important for the understanding of the production and use of colors in the Middle Ages. This fragment came to Bern in 1632 as part of the bequest of Jacques Bongars.
