Mix the honey with the powder.


Ingredients:

Comments:
The best pumice is fine and white, as used by shoemakers to whiten white leather shoes (di corame bianco). IT is also used to clean bones, marble and so on. I have known people give to great ladies, finely ground on its own, them not knowing what it is, , giving them a little scent  and keeping it in a little pouch with musk and amber so it takes the scent, and those ladies kept it as a powder of great importance, seeing its wonderful effects. However, if you need a more noble tooth powder, which is also useful for teeth and gums take the ingredients at (2)

Method:
Strain the juice through linen, six or seven times, put it on the pearls, three or four fingers high. You will see it seem to boil and bubble, so cover the glass with paper or cloth and leave two, three or four days and you will find the pearls have dissolved, leaving a white paste, with a yellowish film above. Take clear well water, or distilled acqua di lentisco, and put it on the paste, about two or three fingers high, and stir well with a fork or silver spoon or wooden spoon. Then leave to rest, pour off the water, and repeat if the yellow film remains, then leave to dry.
Then take 3 parts of this paste; 4 parts of the white pumice, and the ingredients at (3) and grind on marble or in a silver cup. You can also make this in a conserve with syrup of cedro, o mel rosato. If you wish to make the powder red, take only the ingredients at (3).
You can add scents as you wish, but don't add musk, or amber  to the white powder because it looses its whiteness. But place it in pouches amidst musk and other scents as described below.

Method:
Distil the water adding the ingredients at (1)

If you have to use fats instead of pomata, these must be strained once or twice through a canevaccio over a bowl of clear water until clean, and then put over hot ashes in the pignatta and melted over a gentle heat. As they melt throw over the distilled water gradually, until when they are removed from the heat and cold, they remain as a liquid, like a thick oil or salve.

Recipe Name:
For making sublimate of mercury, (Argento Vivo)

Ingredients:
1 lb. Argento vivo. Poco di aceto, salnitro.

Comments:
I suggest that this solimato, made with allume di rocca is best for women to use on their face, though I would advise them to use sparingly, preferably relying more on the gentle waters suggested earlier in this book. For goldsmiths, alchemists and medical uses, it is best to use vetriuolo crudo in place of alume bruciato, which damages women's skin. Unfortunately some also mix arsenico cristalino with the mercury and sollimato,  and everyone should be warned against doing this, because we have seen how women's faces swell up like drums, it can even kill them. (This recipe continues for two more pages, referring to achemists, etc. Not copied.)

Implements:
Catino di legno (A broad flattish basin or tray);
Una boccia-vial, cupping glass

Method:
Put the mercury in the wooden basin with the vinegar and salnitro and using a wooden pestle, mix and crush. Then take 1/2 lb of  sal commune da mangiare, 4 oz salnitro, crush well, put on top of the mercury, mixing well, adding 2 lb. Allume di rocca bruciato, mix, and put in a jug which has been well sealed with clay, (che sia lutata) un dito piu alto che la materia, and put in an oven, in an earthenware pot, with ashes, and put the lid or alembic  on the vial as in any distillation, and distill slowly, removing and keeping all the liquid produced. When no more liquid comes, seal the vial cloth, which goes inside, and another cloth covered with flour, calcina, and water, close on top of the other seal, then return to the heat, and you will see the mercuy , and solimato bianco rise above the residues, making a white bread. (Focaccia) It creeps across the vial, and you then leave to cool, remove, (something is broken, not sure what), and keep hold of the 'bell' of solimato. But the remains left in the jar can be boiled in water, strained dried, and this leaves a salt, and can be used for making new solimato.


Recipe Name:
To make cinnabar (vermillion) and make 'loaves' for 100 , 200 lbs, like those which come from Germany


Ingredients:
Pasta di Borace;  uno acino di cece di coagulo', or guaglio di lepore; Oglio di oliva;1 lb. of black soap, (or white, or calcina vivia, and urine);
4 lbs. Of allume di feccia in three buckets of water and 8 oz. of salnitro.
(These ingredients are a summary, extracted from various processes described.)

Implements:
Cazza di ferro, mastello , bussole;  2 rods, four spaghi* to which you will attach a little piece of lead ". Some bags; letame;  several cauldrons and basins;

Method:
Take the pasta di Borace which is not rancid, (it is made with animal fat), which would suggest it is many years old, which makes the stones tiny. It is important to touch it and feel it, check it is full of stones, because many try to trick you by putting few stones in to the fat to make more money. Take 1/2 bucket of tepid water for every 10 lbs. of pasta. Put the water in an earthenware basin, add the pasta and dissolve with your hands then strain it well through a sieve. Take the stones which are caught in the sieve and put in a basin. Pour olive oil over, as if it were salad,  mixing well, then put them in a sack and mix, then put them in bussole** and keep them, since this is the best borace. If by chance the the pasta doesn't dissolve, or clean up well, add 1 lb. of black soap, (or white, or calcina viva, and urine) and dissolve in the water, and this will help. If you want to repeat and multiply it, take the water, pass through a sieve and put in a cauldron over a slow heat, removing the foam and dirt with a cazza di ferro.* You will know when it is cooked by putting some on your nail, and if it doesn't run off, it is cooked. Remove from the heat, cover with a lid so nothing can get in, and bury the cauldron in semola, treading it well in around and about, 'calcandola bene a torno' and covering with cloths, (or bury in warm dung,) and leave for 8-10 days. When you remove you will find a crust on top, which you remove, and keep, and you will find things which look like icicles, which you put in another basin and wash in fresh water, put canvas over the top and leave to dry in the shade. The stones which you removed from the sieve earlier should be mixed with these ones and allume di feccia. Take 4 lbs. in three buckets of water and 8 oz. of salnitro. Put it over a low heat and boil, remove foam as earlier and when cooked remove from heat and leave until a residue forms,  and when it is clear take a bucket and a half full and put in another clean cauldron over the heat. To stop it boiling add 10 lbs. of the crust made earlier, then leave to boil as before. Put it in a mastello* and over it put two staves/sticks/rods in a cross with four spaghi* to which you will attach a little piece of lead "accio stiano bene stesi e che non tocchi il fondo a quattro dita, e questo accioche vi si possa attaccare la borace," e then bury it as you did with the other. This (what? ) you do not put in a bag but you smear that which is attached to the spaghi with a brush, and that in the basin. (Not clear what is on the brush) Daub it as you do salad, 'and remove the clear pieces, big as wanuts or beans, and the tiny bits put with the remaining waters over a heat, cooking them as above. Do this until all the water has turned into borace, because you throw nothing away. Be careful that when you dissolve the pasta in the water at the beginning, put 'uno acino di cece di coagulo', or guaglio di lepore, which will make it all coagulate.


Ingredients:
Allume di rocca, et vetriolo or salnitro in equal quantities. Well ground. 2 oz. Well water for every pound of these ingredients.

Implements:
Boccia, (plain round vial or cupping glass). Coal/charcoal/ bricks.

Method:
Put in a well washed jug with the water. Place the receptacle in cold water and keep damp cloths over the top and never allow it to dry out. Then take a jug which has been well sealed with clay and place it in sloping  earth,  (acconciate la boccia in terra pendente, et senza cappello unitela col recipiente, lutando ben le gionture con farina et chiara d'ova, ") and removing the top, unite it with the recipient, sealing the joins well with flour and egg white,  making sure the flame doesn't get into the receptacle. To start with put a few glowing charcoals in the bottom of the jug until the ingredients dissolve (et passi quella prima furia (once the first heat has gone) cover the whole jug  with the charcoals (carboni)*, whilst the fire is high, "che sia ordinato un muro di mattoni, che tenga i carboni grossi, et molti sopra la boccia" (make a brick wall which will keep the big coals over the jug) and keep this good fire going for three or four hours. Leave everything to cool and remove the water which will be perfect and keep in a well sealed glass jar.

How to make black soap for cloth: with all the signs it produces when boiling

Ingredients:
1) Calcina viva bianca* In big pieces 30 lbs.; cenere di legno forte 90lbs.;

Comments:
Literally: Take calcina viva bianca 'se sene puo havere' (if you can get hold of it): so, another example of a recipe directed at someone less wealthy, etc. Perhaps also who is going to produce and sell it?
Huge quantities here; either for a huge household, or for sale.

Method:
Place the (hot) ash around the calcina* 'in modo di mortaio'*, then with the granata wash the calcina with water, bit by bit, until it heats up (arrabbi) and fire gets inside. Once it has grown well with the heat within, fate d'esser due' and one incorporates  the ash and calcina with a spade,  the other bathing around the edges with granata to keep the dust down, mix until the two cannot be separated. Once no more dust is produced, stop adding water, but close the mortaio and leave it to macerate for 2-3 hours, so it all heats up and many openings appear. If necessary in cold weather keep it warm by covering it. Then put the material to starin in an earthenware vase, with a hole in the bottom, covered with straw, above a basin into which the material can drip. Prepare 6-8 buckets of strained lissia and put this above the vase 'e fara molta maestra della prima, e buona'. Start with 2-3 buckets and don't open the hole in the bottom until the mixture is soaked. Then let it  trickle out. In order to tell whether it is the first, second or third, take a fresh egg and tie it with a thread, and as the maestra is deipping, put the egg in. If it floats, pour it into a vase, because this is the first. When it no onger floats, it is the second.  You will get about 40 lbs of the first, 30 of the second and 20 of the third, of the fourth as much as you like. They are all put aside, and covered well so they don't evaporate, will last you a year. Then take 30 lbs. Of the first nad 10 lbs. Of the second, mix and check the egg floats. If so, do not dilute more. And bear in mind that every 3 lbs. Of the maestra needs 1 lb. of oil. Then add the oil and mix well, in the evening and leave to infuse over night. In the morning heat it up over the fire and leave to boil gently for 7-8 hours. Be careful, since when it starts to boil, it swells up terribly. Keep stirring so it doesn't burn at the bottom. After this, start your trials. Put a little in an earthen ware plate and leave to cool . Then cut with a slice, and if it sticks together, it is cooked. If not, boil more. Once it is cooked remove from heat, and from the cauldron and put in a cool place. Once cold you can use it. If you use clear oil it will be good, if you use fried oil, it won't be.

So take a ladle and mix well, dip a finger in the ladle and taste with the tip of your tongue. If it is too strong, it will taste like charcoal (carbon da fuoco). Otherwise it won't be so bitter. If too sweet you need to add the first maestra, bit by bit, stirring .  When too sweet and badly cooked it shines a little , like gelatine, When well cooked it is the colour of cotognata, morello lustro scuro. (continues with much repetition from previous recipe, and fine details about the boiling, stirring, tasting.)
