"carefully executed ink drawings of kiln constructions"
Remarks
The manuscript Gawahir al-funun wa-sanai fi garib al-ulum wa-l-badai (Gotha 1347) includes detailed ink illustrations showing the construction of chemical kilns (p. 18). These drawings are credited to an author named Muhammad b. Muhammad Aflatun al-Harmasi al-Abbasi al-Bistami, writing in a work focused on mineralogy (p. 18). The drawings are characterized as 'carefully executed' and have been studied by E. Wiedemann to describe chemical apparatuses of the Arab-Islamic era (p. 18-19).
