Kept in the Hebraic section of the Biblioteca Palatina of Parma (Italy), the Livro de como se fazem as cores is a Portuguese recipe book for book painting. Before turning to its technical contents, it is worth putting it back in its literary context, at the crossroads of different traditions: Western, Hebrew, or even Arab. The study also offers a likely dating for the book and suggests links with illuminated manuscripts in the Iberian Peninsula.
