"It is difficult to decide whether to classify the work on inks by Pietro Maria Canepario, a physician and philosopher of Crema who practiced medicine at Venice, under mineralogy, alchemy, technology, or natural magic. " Thorndike. "At the present time, however, Caneparus's book is full of interest to the student of the history of chemistry. The first part treats of pyrites and analogoius minerals, and of various theoretical questions which arise out of it as to the generation of metals, the nature of fire, etc. ; the second part of metalic atraments; part three is devoted specially to green vitriol; part four to different kinds of writing and printing inks; part five to inks of different colours, and incidentally to pigments, including cinnabar, red lead, lapis lazuli, etc. The last book is taken up entirely with the oil of vitriol. " Ferguson, Secrets, S1, 34. The section on printing ink also has information on ways of erasing letters, on secret writing, and on magic writing.
