Klaer Lightende Spiegel der Verfkonst
The Klaer Lightende Spiegel der Verfkonst (literally: "clearly lighting mirror of the painting art") is a manuscript with over 700 pages[1] of color swatches, produced in 1692[2] by a Dutch author from Delft known only as A. Boogert.[3] The book is arranged according to the Aristotelian system rather than the spectrum, which had recently been described by Newton.[1] Only one copy of the manual is known, and it is completely handwritten and hand-painted.[4] It is kept in the Bibliothèque Méjanes in Aix-en-Provence.[5] The book has been digitised and made available on E-Corpus.
