Abstract
A contract of 1392 provides important information on the organization and technology of brass-making: materials mentioned are scrap brass, <i>graycober</i> (perhaps antimonial copper), and * 2stelebake*1 (probably zinc-bearing calamine ore). References from 1384 to the import of <i>calamys</i> and <i>calamin</i> have also been found. -- AATA
