One booklet, called "The Book
of Miracles," recently was found
in an attic at Catania. It contain
ed 100 pages of "cures for men
tal and physical ailments and aids

This booklet was compiled by
a monk named Father Antonio da
Militello. He transcribed recipes
from ancient scripts and local
usages which, he said, he person
ally "proved for their worth."
Only one recipe which the good
friar did not try was a concoction
of olive oil and the juice of liz-

rids for baldness. He died in
1946 at the age of 90, completely
bald.
These recipes began in the days
of the Medici. Probably the most
famous of all were pamphlets
compiled by Caterina Sforza of
Forli. She was one of the early
beauty experts in the world. A
descendant, Caterina dei Medici,
made famous the Italian art of
cosmetics and perfume's of the
15th Century.
But Caterina Sforza invented
this Italian art. And while other
great ladies of her day secretly
tried out many beauty cures and
aids, jealousy guarding their
finds, she published every one of
her recipes.
Caterina Sforza had a natural
beauty, but she always feared
wrinkles and old age that would
"deter a husband's love."
Most important for Caterina
was the "liscio" or face cosmetic.
She was not content with ordi
nary powdered rice or antimony
for the cheeks, saffron for the
lips, sage for the teeth, and char
coal for the eyelids and eye
brows. She came up with start
ling applications of fresh meat
for the care of the face.
In face-creams, Caterina Sforza
went for refined beeswax mixed
with distilled water, which she
applied in the evening and re
moved the next morning by
washing off with specially pro
served spring water.
A hand cream consisted of boil
ed nettle roots and leaves. Net
tle juice also, was considered good
tor dandruff.
Caterina Sforza invented a
face-freshener of rose water in
which two ounces of camphor,
sulphur and myrrh had been
steeped.
In Venice, women were the firsl
to dye their hair blonde. Their
method was to wash the hair in
egg and saffron and then bleach
it in the sun on their torranccs.
It was more successful as a means
to meet their lovers -
Caterina Sforza experimented
with the problem of bleaching and
came up with the usual egg and
saffron wash, but added a distill
ed concoction of cinnabar and
sulphur.
She also invented the first
blonde tints. One was celandine
(figwort), pink agrimony, roots
and stalks of brushbroom, and-oat
hay, boiled slowly in a sieve con
tainer. The second consisted of pome
granate peels, ash pith, broom
flowers ahd melted soap. Both
washes needed careful drying in
the sun so that the hair would be
come the "color of gold."
For the "lips, her remedy was
acquavilc and roots of myrrh
steeped in strong wine. .
A good day-cream for the face
was mashed bitter almonds cook
ed under a slow heat with iris of
Levant flowers,, -mustard seeds
rose water and unrefined honey
Beauty cures and aids have not
changed much in 500 years, It
seems.. '
