| sdo:abstract | "Take the kidskin or sheepskin, and wash it and wring it till the water comes off it clear ; then take galls well pounded which you have proved to be strong by trying them in your mouth, and put them into a pipkin, let them boil, and then let them cool so as to become tepid. Then take the skin and gall it well ; afterwards wash it with fresh water, and squeeze the water well out. Then take the shoemaker’s dye, that is, atramentum ; steep the skin in it and let it soak for the space of 4 hours ; then wash it well, until the water comes off clear and clean. Then take ley and a little oil, and wet the skin with this mixture, and it will become soft as silk.Make a large lantern, two feet and half broad on each side, and ten or twelve feet in height, and cover it with cotton paper or parchment, for one is as good as the other, and let there be a door at the foot of it, and put into it a tripod, and on the tripod a pan, and on the pan two pounds of Greek pitch. Set the pitch on fire, then shut the door ; take care that the lantern is air-tight, and let the pitch burn until it is entirely consumed, when the smoke from it will affix itself to the interior of the lantern like soot ; then take out the earthen pan and the tripod, shut the door, and with a rod beat the outside of the lantern, when the black will to the bottom, leave it to settle there ; then take it out and preserve it for use. But if you wish to clean the lantern more perfectly, tie some hen’s feathers to a rod, and sweep the inside of the lantern with these, and add the black which you thus sweep off to the other black. When you desire to make printing ink, take the varnish which is used for varnishing and the more perfect its quality the better. But in default of other, you may use that common sort which is sold by apothecaries for varnishing wood and similar things, and procure a wooden rod, such as is used in making carpenters’ glue, with which the varnish is to be stirred ; and put some of the black into it, and liquefy as you require it ; and with this you know books are printed, &c." |
