Linseed Oil: Roasted, Pounded, Steamed and Hot-Pressed in a Cloth (Theophilus, 12th Century)

How Theophilus made linseed oil for painting panels (12th century): linseed dried in a pan over the fire, pounded to a fine meal in a mortar, heated again with a little water, folded in a new cloth and pressed in the same press used for olive, walnut or poppy oil.

History and honest limits

From Theophilus, **De Diversis Artibus**, Book I, chapter XX, translated by Robert Hendrie (1847) (checked on the archive.org scan essayuponvarious00hend, p. 25). He uses the oil to grind minium or cinnabar for red panels; those lead and mercury pigments are left out here. The tools and the diagram are ours.
