An Introduction toChemical Knowledge in the Early Modern World
The essays in this volume collectively cover the development of chemistry in the “early modern world,” that is to say, from the fifteenth century through the eighteenth century. Until comparatively recently, this period was of less interest to historians of chemistry than the succeeding era of the emergence of “modern” chemistry, with its familiar chemical elements, compounds, and equations. But recent research, exemplified by the essays of this …

Igniting Early Modern Science through Pyrotechnics
Igniting Early Modern Science through Pyrotechnics Seymour Mauskopf (bio) Simon Werrett, Fireworks In the early professional history of the history of science, an idealist perspective regarding the Scientific Revolution, most masterfully developed by Alexandre Koyré, held sway. However, in the 1940s, a group of Marxist-oriented European scholars proposed an alternate view whereby the motive force for scientific innovation in the sixteenth and sev…

Chemistry and Cannon
This is the story of an attempt by a major chemist of the late 18th century to develop useful knowledge for industry under government patronage. The chemist was Joseph-Louis Proust (1754-1826; known as Luis Jose Proust in Spain); the industry was munitions; the government was Spanish. It is not a success story in any simple sense; Proust's research did not bring about any change in the manufacture of gunpowder (although Proust rather passionately…
