Chiefly composed of calcium carbonate, chalk was used for a variety of purposes in manuscript production: as a pounce when preparing the parchment surface; as a component of gesso or another ground; as a white pigment; as an alkaline component in pigments (serving to modify the colour of certain organic pigments, such as folium, and to lighten and increase the opacity of others); or as a drawing medium.
