This manuscript covers subjects from the gilding of coins to the invention of artificial marble, from the modeling of glass with sand to the production of porcelain, from the preparation of an excellent green (by means of verdigris or grünspan) to the assembly of coloured glass, from the grinding of pigments to advice for proper hues for skin, hair and eyes.
There is also some zoology and mineralogy information and moreover a recipe that apparently ensures a good sleep and dreams.
