This treatise serves as a comprehensive guide on the art and science of creating various types of fireworks, detailing everything from the essential ingredients and their compositions to the methods of construction. The work aims to provide readers with the necessary knowledge to produce artificial fireworks, thus reducing reliance on foreign artisans for such displays. At the start of the book, the author introduces the topic of fireworks and their rich history, alluding to their origins dating back to ancient civilizations.
