Antonio Neri
L'arte vetraria distinta in libri sette. Florenz, Giunti 1612.
"The first edition of this classic work, the first general treatise on glass-making" (Duncan).
Erste Ausgabe des ersten bedeutenden Werkes zur Glasherstellung. "A rather famous Italian book, which, so far as my experience goes, is most uncommon .. Though of no magnitude, it is interesting as being one of the earliest on the subject. Neri was engaged in the famous works at Murano, where the exquisite Venetian glass was made, and this treatise contains the result of his experience. It is undoubtedly a very important book in the history of the art" (Ferguson).
