The objective of this work is to investigate the manufacturing of glass, notably in the period which ranges from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century. This ancient manufacture, with stages kept as secrets by the work corporations, basically used as raw materials sand mixed with an alkaline material such as soda or potash. Our work aims to show the handling of these raw materials, with a focus on chemistry. Thus, we decided to approach through some texts that described the manufacturing of glass in the course of a century, what was called salts . After analyzing books about the manufacturing of glass we selected Antonio Neri s text as a starting point and reference to our discussions. We have also approached the translations of Neri s work to English and French made by C. Merrett e J. H. de Blancourt respectively, who have made additions and modifications. Therefore, it was possible to establish for the period delimited for this study, routes of documents and craftsmen of the art of glass manufacturing between a region and another, seduced by the offered privileges. We hope to contribute with this work to a better understanding of what the researchers of the science of matter thought about some fundamental materials for the manufacturing of glass in the period which goes from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the following century
