Antonio Neri
(1576–1614), Italian glassmaker. He was a priest in Florence when in 1602 he began to conduct experiments with a view to replicating precious and semi-precious stones in glass. In 1604 he visited Amsterdam to consult the Portuguese glass scientist Emmanuel Ximénes and to work in a glasshouse. In 1612 he published a treatise on glass-making, L'arte vetraria, which was translated into Latin, English, German, French, and Spanish. An annotated English edition published by Christopher Merrett in 1662 was translated into German and published in 1679 by the distinguished glassmaker and technologist Johann Kunckel.
