Specialist Notes
Nineteenth-century edition, reprinted on the edition cited by Crusca, of this fundamental treatise on glass art published for the first time in 1612 in Florence written by Antonio Neri, priest, son of a doctor, particularly fascinated by medicine and alchemy. The treatise mainly concerns the preparation of colored glass (blue, & nbsp; red, yellow and & nbsp; green) and, although exquisitely technical and full of instructions, descriptions and prescriptions on the art of making glass, transmits Neri's intent to underline on the one hand the importance of practice, of direct experience and on the other the value of craftsmanship, of operational knowledge. The work, unique by Neri, had considerable editorial success and was translated into English, Latin , German, French & nbsp; & nbsp;
