First sentence: Since the Middle Ages-indeed as early as the 13th century when Theophilus, the monk of Paderborn, wrote his work, On Divers Arts-artists and craftsmen have cooked, blended, borrowed, and stolen an amazing variety of recipes and formulas, always striving to concoct a better paint or a quicker drying varnish to insure the permanence of their works.
