Corante: or, Newes from Italy, Germany, Hungarie, Spaine and France was the first English  newspaper. The earliest of the seven known surviving copies is dated September 24, 1621 (although John Chamberlain is on record as having complained about them in August), and the latest is dated October 22 of that same year.

Um corante é toda substância que, se adicionada a outra substância, altera a cor desta. Pode ser uma tintura, pigmento, tinta ou um composto químico.
