This is a survey of all manuscripts written up to ca. 1500 that ts (such as gold). He covers the difficulty of the terminology used by different scribes, some of whom were copying text they may not have understood, and others who were clearly noting their own observations.
The heart and soul of this book is the Checklist the occupies the center of the book, pp. 51 - 112. In this, Dr. Clarke lists every known surviving manuscript that references the materials needed for making manuscripts and paintings.

He also includes, in italics, the references listed in other books that are in error (that is, the typos), and redirects the reader to the actual manuscript identifier. The checklist is arranged by location, so that, for instance, all the British Library resources are listed together, and so on.
