About the Cover:

The blue pigment (rosettes) on the cover was made from a medieval recipe and the page from the medieval technical manuscript containing this recipe appears beneath the pigment. This pigment is discussed in the article "Doing Chemistry at the Art/Archaeology Interface" by Mary Virginia Orna which starts on page 373.
