Quotation
Inde ; c’est une couleur qui sert pour peindre. Les Anciens en avoient de deux sortes selon Pline l. 35. c. 6. & Discoride l. 5. c. 57. L’une qui se faisoit avec de certains roseaux qui se trouvaient aux Indes ; l’autre de l’escume des chaudieres où l’on teint les draps de pourpre. L’Inde qu’on employe aujourd’hui se fait aussi de deux manieres, l’une du suc d’une herbe que les Grecs nomment Isatis, & les Latins Glastum, que nous appellons Guesde ; Et l’autre de l’herbe appellée Indigo, qui croist dans la Province de Gatimala, & ce qui est de grand usage parmy les Teinturiers V. p. 411.
