guidance and advice during the research. Grateful acknowledgements are due to Judith H. Hofenk de Graaff and Wilma Roelofs, researchers of the Central Laboratorium in Amsterdam, for their guidance in the methods for analysing natural dyes and for supplying a large number of reference materials. The author expresses her thanks to Márta Járó, chemist, for her collaboration in the identification of inorganic pigments and for her advice on research and processing. She is also indebted to Julia Szendrői, chemical engineer, for her work on the analysis of dyes on ethnographical textiles. Grateful acknowledgements are due to the curators and restorers who asked her for dye analysis, gave advice, and followed her research with attention: to Emőke László and Dr. Katalin Dózsa, art historians, to Katalin Nagy and Márta Tésik, textile restorers. Most of the investigated samples were supplied by Zoltán Szalay, head of department, and Enikő Sipos, Judit Hervai, Mária Kralovánszky, Erzsébet Vágó, Márta Tóth, Zsuzsa Herceg, and Ágnes Szilc, restorers. Most of the photos were taken by Ágnes Kolos. References 1. Brunello, F.: The Art of Dyeing in the History of Mankind, Neri Pozza Editoré, Vicenza, 1973, pp. 467 2. Brunello, F.: op. cit. 95 3.
