L’articolo prende in esame sei ricette bizantine finora inedite per la produzi- one di inchiostri d’oro e d’argento contenute nel codice 1808 della Biblioteca Universi- taria di Bologna. Lo studio di queste ricette fa emergere alcuni problemi interpretativi circa le sostanze e le procedure utilizzate, i quali si tenta di risolvere tenendo conto tanto degli aspetti filologico-linguistici, quanto di quelli chimici e tecnologici.

Abstract
The article examines six hitherto unpublished Byzantine recipes for the pro- duction of gold and silver inks preserved in MS 1808 of the University Library of Bolo- gna. The study of these recipes raises a number of problems of interpretation regarding the substances and procedures involved, which we seek to resolve by taking into account the philological and linguistic aspects as well as the chemical and technological ones.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
