This volume is the first comprehensive technical history of the production of zinc and brass. It describes the inception and technical development of the processes by which zinc and brass were made at various centres around the world, together with typical compositions of the resulting brasses. The essays show that technical developments were in fact continuous and consciously related from the ancient to the modern world. Continuing research and fieldwork into these subjects have resulted in important new information that is now incorporated in this completely revised edition.
