Transcription

Auripigmentum incides de uermiculo et ipsi maptizatura non est quia stercorat omnes alios colores. Tamen si uis facere gladium uiridum misce auripigmentum cum nigro. incides cum nigro maptiza cum auripigmento.

Translation

You may make the shadows upon orpiment with vermilion, but it has no modeling in the lights, because it makes all other colors go foul. Though, if you wish to make 'corn-flag' green, you may mix orpiment with black, shade with black, and bring it up to orpiment in the lights.
