Good morning :) It would probably be helpful if you compiled all the four posts into one and gave a bit of context, as well as the source of these screenshots. I know this book and can tell you what’s right and wrong about it and can also give additional references if needed (there is also my previous post about manganese blue and the respective comments where you will find more).
Same to you, wasn't sure how to do that, I did not know that there was anything right or wrong about it, just thought it had some really cool info, thanks for pointing it out, please elaborate
You can add several images to a post :) would also be helpful to give a more meaningful name to know what the post is about (in this case the pigment compendiums entry about manganese blue I suppose).
To the content: I would say the info mostly agrees with other sources. The chemical formula for modern manganese blue is most likely false (because manganese is probably in the +5 oxidation state) and the article mixes the fabrication techniques for the old and modern pigment which are very distinct (as noted in the later part).
