In this activity, in the form of a quiz, it is intended to make known the world of medieval and modern inks that were used to write on parchment or paper. Where and how they were produced, what ingredients available in nature were used, what colours were obtained. What techniques were used to write. What degradations occur over time and how they affect manuscripts visual and physically. This will be done by asking creative and challenging questions that will direct the players to a more precise knowledge of how the writing inks were created, how they degrade and what care we can take.
