[Regia-NA] Pigments

[Linda Rice]

Oh Hazel, you wicked woman!  While this does sound lovely and oh-so-useful, $250 is way beyond the
budget right now. It may be Christmas, but mine is already gotten.  :-/

On a brighter note, my (early Christmas present) copy of "_Woven Into the Earth_" just arrived
moments ago. Not entirely Viking, but it is *wonderful* nonetheless.  So many fabulous photos and
details! Why am I sitting here at the computer??? 

Pax,

The Pigment Compendium 
By Nicholas Eastaugh, Valentine Walsh, Ruth Siddall, and Tracey Chaplin 
1. A Dictionary of Historical Pigments 
The Pigment Compendium Dictionary is a comprehensive information source for scientists, art
historians, conservators and forensic specialists.
Drawn together from extensive analytical research into the physical 
and chemical properties of pigments, this essential reference to 
pigment names and synonyms describes the inter-relationship of 
different names and terms. 
The Dictionary covers the field worldwide from pre-history to the present day, from rock art to
interior decoration, from ethnography to contemporary art. Drawing on hundreds of hard-to-obtain
documentary sources as well as modern scientific data each term is discussed in detail, giving both
its context and composition.
