Bole is either a naturally occurring or iron-rich material (such as red ochre q.v) particularly suited to applications such as substrates for gilding where a high surface polish is required. Documentary sources mention various colours such as white and red boles. Harley (1982) found among seventeenth century British documentary sources that the term bole appeared occasionally as a synonym for red ochre, but that it was more typically associated with Armenian bole - bole Armoniack - and, according to de Mayeme (BL MS Sloane 2052), in canvas priming. Merrifield (1849) lists bularminium as synonymous.
