Transcription

Auripigmentum incide uermiculo. et illi maptizatura non est. quia deturpat omnes colores. Tamen si uis facere gladium uiride: auripigmentum misce cum indico. Incides de nigro. maptizabis de auripigmento.

Translation

You may shade orpiment with vermilion, but there is no lightening it, because it fouls all colours. Still, if you wish to make a 'corn-flag' (gladium) green, mix orpiment with indigo, put in the shadows with black, and hatch the lights with orpiment.
