Abstract
Binding media in samples taken from XIIth-XIIIth century polychrome sc ulptures in the Baptistery of Parma (Italy) were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, after hydrolysis and derivatization procedures. The use of SE-52 capillary columns and the application of selected ion monitoring (SIM) allowed an increasing in the sensitivity and the ability to differentiate between animal glues, casein, egg an d drying oils as components of the binders of paint and ground layers. Small amounts of material were enough for a satisfactory characteriza tion.
