Abstract
Document number thirty from the manuscripts of the Count of Harrach, preserved in the Vienna State Archives, is an exceptionally interesting home recipe book that contains numerous personal annotations by a person whose identity we will reveal in this article. These insightful notes reveal details regarding the practices and use of perfume in a home of the nobility in the 17th century. Perfume waters, incense, pastilles and pomanders are some of the products that could be prepared by following the instructions in the recipes. A detailed analysis of the manuscript has led us to discover the owner and author of the annotations, as well as get a better understanding of the significance of perfume for the noble elite of the Spanish monarchy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
