The manuscript is incomplete, because they have lost their last pages. The latest book that contains, is a cookbook art technology, as editing and study is the objective of this research. The treaty was known only through a defective transcript he had conducted in 1912 on paleógrafo J. Burnam and was undervalued by the historiography of treaties medieval art technology. In this paper, there has been a new transcription of the cookbook, correcting errors Burnam and, in addition, the text was translated into Spanish, as this is the first translation in the language of a receterio técnico-artístico medieval. In addition, through study and paleográfico codicológico manuscript, we have provided new data on their dating (first half of the twelfth century) and their place of origin (scriptorium of northeastern France). The treaty contains ninety recipes artistic techniques including crisografía and argirografía, preparing alloy of gold and silver, gold and procedures and its imitations of silver, gems and development of artificial pearls, fur dyeing and preparation of some pigments . The study of these recipes has shown that relate to contemporary artistic practices and have no connection with alchemy, as pointed out by Burnam. The comparative study of these recipes recipes identical or similar other treaty has helped establish medieval relations original-copia with some of them (Ms.de Sélestat, Ms.de Lucca), and also get a "reference text" better understanding of the procedures described, sometimes disfigured by faults, errors and omissions in the text. The study compared to other treaties medieval, as well as other contemporary literary interpretation has allowed the development of these cookbooks with the scriptoria Carolingian and otonianos, being a true reflection of the artistic needs of these companies. After the crisis of the third century, the decorative and artistic techniques related to the production of luxury items were the most suffered its consequences. In the West, over the centuries VII-XII attempted recovery of these techniques, using as a source the work of the artists are part of this effort, instead of being its development and the scriptoria monastic cathedral. This research work ends with a glorious development of the materials used in the procedures described, where addressing various aspects terminology, historical and technicians.
