Pirotechnia of Vannoccio Biringuccio - The Classic Sixteenth-Century Treatise on Metals and Metallurgy

The first comprehensive work on metallurgy, "The Pirotechnia" was published in 1540. Lavishly illustrated, it describes the equipment and processes of sixteenth-century mining, smelting, and metalworking. For centuries, this famous work has been a standard reference; it is especially valuable as a source of information on the state of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century technology. 94 woodcuts.
