Don't let either one burn you up. I think either burnt or dried is a good translation here. In English, "burnt alum" is the historical name for a heat-dried mineral alum. I just looked at the recipe as you give it on claudio's forum. So far as I can puzzle out, it says to very rough translation; tell me if I am too far off track :.
Mix on a gentle? Add a half pound of minced mastic. It will swell up so remove the vessel from the fire and mix until every thing is dissolved well. Then add the walnut-size amount of ground burnt alum and mix until it is all incorporated, then filter through a piece of old linen.
If this is indeed the recipe, then I would guess the alum is for clarifying. That is, even though the pitch is clear, both it and the mastic will have impurites that would be precipitated by the alum. Filtering will remove the alum and also the impurites. Ciao Claire! Congratulazione per il tuo Italiano!!! The recipe is the same mentioned by Geary Baese in his book "Classic Italian Varnish", but he omits the burnt alum, hence my doubt.
But he mentions in the book that allum's function was to purify and clarify the varnish. Old Italian recipes are difficult to translate and sometimes they have strange ingredients such as "l'urina di un fanciullo vergine" Cellini, but not for varnish , bread crumbs, mixing the varnish with a feather, etc.
I have a number of friends who research Medieval arts and sciences, and who try out many recipes. Sometimes the ingredients seem odd, but have a good purpose. For example, the feather -- this is a traditional way of measuring temperature.
Remember, they could not go down to the corner hardware store and buy a thermometer! I don't know the temperature at which feathers singe, but that is a common measure of how hot to make an oil -- until a feather just singes. If anybody knows the old cowboy recipe for boiled coffee -- egg shells are added to settle the grounds.
You don't drink the egg shells! I had an old German gentleman tell me very seriously that you shouldn't drink French wine because they put blood in it. I laughed at him until I discovered that a clarifying agent used to settle the dregs in french winemaking was once but no longer! Glass powder occurs in some recipes and is often thought to be a misprint, but ground glass aids in grinding some gums and pigments; it keeps them from sticking together in a mass.
But the glass is not part of the final product. My friends have even discussed the requirement of "l'urina di un fanciullo vergine" but have reached no conclusion, other than to postulate it the difference lies in a lack of hormones. Estrogen, for instance, is purified from the urine of pregnant mares Alum must NOT be used as toothpaste!!!!! But Alum is not to be taken orally Period!
