Item de distemperatura auri. Accipe gipsum et album de Apuleya et carominium, id est sinobrium, tertiam partem de gipso, et de albo et de carominio duas partes equales, et misce simul, et tere super marmorem, adiungesque cum eis modicum cole, tenue tarnen, et de hac distemperatura poteris aurum ubicumque uolueris ponere et diu seruare.

Translation

More about the tempera for gold. Take gypsum and Apulian white and carmine, that is sinobrium, a third part of gypsum and two equal parts of white and carmine, and mix them together, and grind them on the marble; and mix with them a little glue, but not too heavy. And with this tempera you may lay gold wherever you please, and you may keep it for a long time.
