Portuguese Science Foundation through three research projects and three Ph.D. Grants, including the three awarded to Paula Nabais, Rita Aranjo and Eva Mariasole Angelin (CORES Ph.D. programme PD/00253/2012: PD/BD/105895/2014, SFRH/BD/52314/2013 and PD/BD/114412/2016). FCT/MCTES (UID/QUI/50006/2019). Support was also given by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation award 'Estimulo Investigacao 2016' (146301). Ministerio de Economfa, Industria y Competitividad del Gobiemo de Espana (MINECO-EAI/FEDER) for project IMAN (Investigacion y analisis para el conocimiento y la preservacion de un patrimonio documental: los manuscritos andalusies), HAR2016-77482-R. The conservation of Islamic manuscripts in the Fondo Ka'ti created the opportunity to study the organic red colourants applied in five manuscripts, which include a Koran (1198), a theology treatise (14 th c.), a book of poems from Al-Sarishi (15 th c.), a biography of the Prophet (1468) and manuscript 19 (1485). These dark red colours were characterized using fibre optic reflectance spectroscopy (FORS-VIS), microspectrofluorimetry and infrared spectroscopy (microFTIR). Microspectrofluorimetry detected the presence of a lac dye chromophore in all the manuscripts studied and ascribed it to specific medieval recipes for three of the manuscripts. This was based on the very good matches obtained with our database of paint reconstructions that were prepared according to medieval technical sources; the dark reds found in the Koran compared very well with the recipe ‘to make red ruby from lukk’ from Ibn Bādīs text (11 th c.); the brighter reds applied in the book of poems and in the biography of the Prophet, with recipe 113 from the Paduan manuscript (16 th c.). MicroFTIR completed the characterization of the paint formulation, identifying the proteinaceous nature of the binding media as well as the fillers. It also showed the presence of oxalate compounds, possibly, resulting from the binding media degradation, a mark of the recent and dramatic history of these books. Finally, these red dyes were successfully compared to lac dye colours previously characterized in 12 th -13 th c. Portuguese manuscript illuminations.

Portugués: Duas tintas negras de escrita, possivelmente usadas na idade média no território do Al- Andalus, foram reproduzidas seguindo as instruções do autor andaluz ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Idrīs ibn al-Qalalūsī, na sua obra “Sobre as coisas que deve conhecer o escriba”, datada do séc. XIII. Foi possível obter tintas de um negro muito escuro e de boa aplicação em papel, que foram caracterizadas com grande detalhe a nível molecular. Os dados obtidos validam a qualidade das tintas de escrita reproduzidas, abrindo novas perspectivas para um estudo integral desta obra que contribuirá para o avanço no conhecimento da história da ciência e tecnologia do Al-Andalus. Este estudo insere-se no projecto de investigação “Polifenóis em Arte: com química e biologia para uma conservação sustentável da herança cultural”, que visa estudar uma herança cultural ibérica de valor único, o códice medieval, promovendo uma sua conservação sustentável. Inglés : Using ingredients and methods appropriate to the thirteenth century, we have prepared two medieval iron-gall inks described in the technical treatise “The staff of the scribe” written by the Andalusian poet and civil servant Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Idrīs ibn al-Qalalūsī, in the thirteenth century. The inks obtained were very dark and were fully characterized, at the molecular level, through a multi-analytical approach that combines high-performance liquid chromatography-DAD with Raman and Infrared spectroscopy. The data obtained was also compared with the results of a previous publication on Iberian iron-gall inks. Overall, this study opens new perspectives for a systematic reproduction of the chemical processes to produce inks described in this unique technical source, “The staff of the scribe”; which will contribute to advance our knowledge on the science and technology in al- Andalus.

En noviembre de 2014 comenzó oficialmente un proyecto en el que se pretendió rescatar, digitalizar e indizar la información más antigua que se conserva en el Archivo de la Notaría Única de Santa Fe de Antioquia. Se trata de los protocolos de escribanos más antiguos que aún se conservan en el Departamento de Antioquia, Colombia. Este archivo, en inminente riesgo de desaparecer, estaba literalmente en el olvido. Con la ayuda de varias instituciones y personas, logramos sumar esfuerzos para preservarlo y poner al servicio de usuarios e investigadores el valioso acervo documental que allí reposa. November 2014 was the official start date for a project which aimed to recover, digitalize and index the oldest information conserved in the Archive of the Sole Notary of Santa Fe de Antioquia, Colombia. These are the oldest scribes' protocols still extant in the Department of Antioquia. This archive, on the point of disappearing, was literally forgotten. With the help of various institutions and individuals, we have managed to combine efforts to preserve it, and place its valuable resources at the service of users and researchers., Artículo revisado por pares
