• Notes

  Second edition of a printed volume of recipes for the various varnishes and lacquers invented in the Far East and adopted for European use from the 17th century onwards. Guidotti mines the works of obscure and not so obscure writers, be it Anathasius Kricher or Filippo Buonanni, the letters sent back by travelling Jesuits like Vanhame aor Adelberto Tilkousi or Padre Bertocchi, to the more obscure sources such as Daniel Gesser, P. Jamart, Giovanni Zahan, Christopher Love Marley. Towards the end is a more conventional Book of Secrets. The work was originally published in Bologna 1764.
