Prussian Blue and Leonardo???

I’m confused about the supposed quote from da Vinci under the free oil painting lesson on this site, can anyone shed any light on this “...under which we put Prussian Blue becomes...”
I checked to make sure and Prussian Blue wasn’t discovered until the early 18th century so how could Leonardo mention it? I’m pretty sure the term wasn’t used for another colour before then so that’s not a possible explanation.
