Abstract
MS 738, housed at London’s Wellcome Library, belongs to the vast Italian tradition of “artistic recipes”; dedicated to the areas of Padua, Ferrara and Mantua, it contains a recipe by Andrea Mantegna which is also preserved in a Genovese manuscript (Genoa, Bibl. Universitaria, F. VI. 4). The text serves as a springboard for examining various facets of Mantegna’s relationship with his teacher Francesco Squarcione, both early on as an apprentice and later as a mature artist, as well as the circulation of artistic techniques in the 15th century.
