In the transition from carbon to iron-gall inks, the two documents from the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection in Berlin with shelfmarks P 13500 and P 13501 discussed in this work present an important case. Their inks appear brownish, although they date back to the fourth and third century BCE, when carbon inks are believed to have been commonly if not exclusively used. Using imaging micro-X-ray fluorescence and infrared reflectography, we discovered that the inks in both documents contain a significant amount of copper in addition to carbon. Comparing the extant recipes for black writing inks and the experimental evidence, we suggest that these inks are a transition between the pure carbon and the iron-gall inks. Such inks may have been quite common before the production of iron-gall ink was clearly understood and established.

寻找黑色墨水演变中缺失的环节

在从碳墨到铁墨墨水的过渡中,本次工作中讨论的柏林埃及博物馆和纸莎草博物馆的两个文献分别标有P 13500和P 13501,这是一个重要案例。它们的墨水看起来是褐色的,尽管它们可以追溯到公元前四世纪和三世纪,那时人们普遍认为,即使不专门使用碳墨水,也是如此。通过使用微型X射线荧光成像和红外反射成像,我们发现两个文档中的油墨除碳外还包含大量的铜。通过比较现有的黑色书写墨水配方和实验证据,我们建议这些墨水是纯碳墨水和铁墨墨水之间的过渡。在清楚地理解和确定铁-胆油墨的生产之前,这种油墨可能已经很普遍了。
