Description

Produced from the early fifteenth century onwards, Firework Books are, broadly speaking, manuals on how to use gunpowder. This volume provides the first full edition and English translation of one such manuscript from the collection of the Royal Armouries (RA I.34). It also includes a detailed analysis of its content and context to offer an unparalleled insight into fifteenth-century gunpowder technology at a critical juncture of military and technological change at the end of the Middle Ages.
