Transcription

Sinoplum eodem modo moles quo et uermiculum. In eo potest misceri parum albi. et erit roseus color. Item si misceas cum albo parum sinopli: erit carominius. Et iterum si misceas cum sinoplo auripigmentum. uincente auripigmento: erit rufus color.

Translation

You grind sinoper in the same way as vermilion. A little white may be mixed with it, and it will become rose-coloured; or if you mix a little sinoper with white, it will become carmine. And if you mix orpiment with sinoper, with the orpiment in excess, it will create an orange tint.
