I have just bought a copy of
Glass of the Alchemists: Lead Crystal–Gold Ruby, 1650–1750.
which was published with an exhibition organised by the glassmakers Corning in 2008.
You can see details on this page
http://www.cmog.org/publication/glass-alchemists-lead-crystal-gold-ruby-1650-1750
The publishers have generously provided a link from which you can download the 21 page illustrated introduction.
This book celebrates the input that 16th and 17th century alchemy had into the development of lead crystal, gold ruby glass and other glass recipes.Attached Image (viewed 405 times):
