• Resumen

  • We have examined and identified the 38 samples contained in the glass bottles and glass jars preserved in the Grand Duke Leopold's workbench, located at the Museum of History of Science in Florence, Italy. Many of the samples were coloring materials, some were of medicinal interest, others were connected with the industrial development of Tuscany of that time (1765-1790), such as materials for pencils, boric acid, soil improvement, colored glass manufacture, and metal extractions.
