This was called Pulvis Marchionis, meaning Powder of Marquis. A Marquis is a nobleman above a Count and below a Duke. This formula was evidently written by a nobleman, and perhaps supplied to the poor as was often done by noble people in older times.
As has been stated elsewhere, Spodium generally refers to Tabasheer when the formula is of Arab origin, or Arab inspiration. This formula lists Spodium which is intended to be Burnt Ivory. However, Tabasheer will be more effective and more readily available.
