Manuscript Pavia, Aldini 75
#5
Although there are some Greek characters, the words in question do not seem to be Greek but are encoded. The 'secret' ingredients are written in this code.

Contractions: sblimati = sublimati, tatari = tartari, pparati = præparati, que= quæ; onz are ounces, gr are grams

At the end it says: fac pulverem. De quo pulvere cementa laminas Iovis finissimi quae sint in pondere onz viii...
'Make a powder. Using this powder, cement together sheets of the finest tin which are in weight 8 ounces.'

I'll have another look tomorrow.

According to the University of Brighton, wishing people a Happy Christmas upsets people. They suggest 'winter closure period' as a woke alternative. So a Happy Winter Closure Period to you all.
