A manuscript work from Andreas Räbel, a 17th-century pyrotechnician, containing formulas and recipes for the creation of fireworks, explosives, rockets, detonators, flares, bombs, and other armament. The recipes call for ingredients ranging from metallic and metalloid elements such as antimony, tin, and mercury, to naturally occurring minerals and substances such as orpiment, chalk, coal, tree oil, and resin. The work is handwritten in German, cursive script, and includes colored ink drawings labeled with reference numbers and letters. The work also contains Räbel's description of the wedding of Emperor Leopold von Habsburg (1640-1705) to Margarita Teresa of Spain (1651-1673) on December 12, 1666. Work is digitized in its entirety.
