Identifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolor1 s

is criticalto restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had

been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color1 manuscripts (手稿) in Europe

during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers fromPortugalhas finally

uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color1 that helped bring ancient

illustrations and texts to life.

The research team began byporing overinstructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th,

and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitledThe Book on How to Make

All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in

the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no

name was mentioned.

However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye

was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team

found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town ofMonsarazin southPortugal.

The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries.

“You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink.

The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times.

When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue

color1 .

Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular
