1 Probably because Hoare and the new Cambridge Italian-English
dictionary incorrectly translate grana as cochineal, Dr. Mallett does
likewise. This may trouble readers who know that cochineal is the
red dyestu! from the Central American shield louse found on cacti,
which was exported from New Spain (Mexico) to Europe in great
quantities after the discovery of the New World. The Mediterranean
dyestu! is known as kermes, or ‘grain’ in English literature, and
came from a variety of tree louse found in Spain, the Peloponnesus,
and Syria.
