This volume brings together works on the development of scientific and technical knowledge in Europe between the 13th and 16th centuries, with a special focus on the Iberian Peninsula. These works, which rely heavily on the evidence provided by the written record, pay particular attention to the content of recipe books and technical treatises from the 15th and 16th centuries. The volume addresses issues such as manuscript and technical recipe book analysis, archaeological investigation of production areas and archaeometric analysis, presenting a holistic and comprehensive perspective of technical knowledge during the Middle Ages. It highlights different approaches and perspectives in the analysis of medieval technical and technological knowledge, in order to arrive at equally broad and complementary conclusions.

  • "The essays provide a range of perspectives and research on late medieval craft and industrial techniques. A key virtue of the volume is the attention paid to methodology and the wide range of sources and disciplines drawn on by the authors, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of studying the history of technology. Several of the essays, for example, draw our attention to the importance of collaborative research, including the capabilities of the Colour ConText Database, a searchable database that provides access to digital images of recipe collections and individual recipes across Europe and relevant bibliographic data (Maria João Melo, Paula Nabais, and Tati¬ana Vitorino), and the Exploitation of Mediterranean Alums in Europe, an important international research coordination network (David Igual Luis and Didier Boisseuil).
    - Overall, this volume will be useful to medieval social and economic historians, as well as historians of technology. It is particularly valuable for providing a guide to European scholarship on these specialized topics to an English-speaking audience." Elspeth Whitney
