Subject: Terminology
Can anyone help translate or explain the word "korpozna" as qualifier for "tempera", please? "Korpozna tempera" was referred to in a report on the restoration of a painted ceiling in a mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the following phrase (translated, except for the mysterious word): "the ceiling decoration [was originally] painted using KORPOZNA tempera with a protein binder direct onto the wood..." The institution commissioning the translation, the Commission to Preserve National Monuments, has not responded to requests for clarification/ definition, and my searches of the internet for tempera terminology have proved fruitless.
