RE: VMs: Real Monks prefer (fake) blondes?

Hi GC,

> But was this so 500 years ago?

Don't forget that a number of contemporary lotions and potions in Northern 
Italy circa 1480 - most notably those compiled into Caterina Sforza's 
Experimenti, but there were supposedly many others - were for altering hair 
colour, skin colour, or for whitening teeth, softening skin etc.

So, the blondes depicted may have been satisfied customers of our 
manuscript maker! :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
