Title: The "Hints and Help from Heloise" of the 16th Century.
Review: For those with a strong interest in the technology and industrial techniques of the renaissance, this book (and it's other volumes) are a godsend. It contains everything from recipes for some of the common medical concoctions of the era, to metallurgical formulae. This particular edition is a photographic reproduction of 1558 English language edition of a book first published in Italian in 1551. The typeface can be a beast to interpret, but is worth the effort, as the information is very useful to students of the history of technology, costumers, and historical reenacters. It is currently out of print, but I write this review in hopes of producing enough interest to get another pressing done.
