Beautiful color for latten

Having cleaned it well, as is said, & wire-brushed it
well, make it boil in water & turmeric root
or terra merita, and it will become very

Whitening

If it is for silver, do not pestle your tartar with
iron, but with the handle of a hammer, for if you touch
& dip iron in your whitening, the silver would
become red like copper & you would need to reheat it &
put it again in whitening. Mix nothing with your tartar
that should not enter the whitening, for this corrupts it. Do not
let it spill out of its first boil, for in this is all its strength. The
whitening is made with one partpulverized tartar
& a half of common salt.

To make this quickly, redden the filings in an
iron case, stirring it often. Then sprinkle it with
good vinegar & let it evaporate & without removing it
from atop the fire, let it redden & inflame. Once cooled, pulverise
it on the marble & return it to the fire,
rou sprinkle with vinegar, and then inflame.
Thus it will quickly be colored & made fine.
