[translation: BEURS, en preparation, transl. Myra Scholz:] {Red} 11. For red they use vermilion, red-brown, and various lakes, such as Florentine and Haarlem lake, also brazilin and distilled red lead. 12. Florentine lake is made of cochineals, and Haarlem lake by mixing the clippings of this with rose-red. Brazilin is prepared from brazilwood boiled with chalk thrown in, which is then made into pellets.

Beurs distinguishes between Florentynsche and Haarlemse lak, as well as kogellak. Kogellak appears to be the same colour as Brezilje verf. [MO]
