Abstract: There have been many treatises left behind by Persian master calligraphers detailing the different aspects of the art of the book such as book binding, types of paper, calligraphic styles and their importance, reed pens and cutting styles for calligraphy, as well as the construction of dyes, pigments, sizing, and of course, inks. While these treatises almost exclusively focus on traditional Persian crafts, the manuscript researched in this paper is dedicated to the western crafts and recipes which were gathered and translated into Persian by ‘Ali Ḥosseini, a 19th century Iranian scholar. Furthermore, he used the English terms of ingredients and transliterated them in Persian during translation, which can make deciphering the recipes very challenging for the average reader. The current paper focuses on the ink making recipes of the manuscript Kašf al-Ṣanāye‘ translated from European source.

Abstract: There has been a great amount of historical research and scientific analysis done on the two main black inks, i.e. carbon ink and iron gall ink. However, Persian master calligraphers have passed down a great amount of information and recipes on making not only the mentioned inks, but other types as well. These recipes are found in the treatises and manuscripts of master calligraphers such as Abdullah Sayrafi (16th C), Sultan Ali Mashhadi (d. 1519), Baba Shah Isfahani (

Abstract: Peacock ink, known as Murakkabi ṭāvūsī , was created and used by Persian master calligraphers especially from the 14th century onwards. It is a sub-category of Persian ink which contains four main ingredients: l black, gum Arabic, green vitriol (ferrous sulphate) and gall nut extract (tannic acid). It is differentiated from other inks in that it contains many additional secondary ingredients which will be covered in this paper. Peacock ink derives its name from the range of different coloured materials added to the ink as well as the blue-green undertone this predominantly black ink is said to have. It is reputed to be a high-quality product, rumoured to stay on paper for centuries and is not affected by water, abrasion or other detrimental factors. It was the aim of this investigation to identify and describe in detail ingredients used to make this ink by finding and translating 17 recipes contained in 11 Persian treatises (15th–16th ce ). Of the 31 ingredients found, 16 are plant based, 13 minerals, and 2 animal (protein) based, and in all cases water was used as the vehicle.
