Image not available
- Description
- The report, which is written in French, describes the natural process for making Damascus steel, with a focus on the Syrian process, and compares this with steel-making practices in Carinthia, Styria, and France. On the back page of the manuscript is a drawing, in pencil, of two objects; the origin and date of this drawing is unknown, but appears to be later than the text of the manuscript.
