Without enumerating any Encyclopædias (in most of which may be found very able and interesting articles on the subject), in the following works the best treatises for all practical purposes will be found:

Pirotechnia, del Vannuccio Biringuccio, nobile Senese, 1540, 1550, 1559, 1678. There is a French translation of it by Jasper Vincent, 1556—1572, 1627. The tenth chapter is about bells. Magius refers to it in these words:—"In illa, perscriptum in Italico Sermone, et delineatum quisque reperiet, quicquid ad artem ediscendam conducit, usque adeo, ut et quo pacto, Campanæ in turribus constituantur ac moveantur, edoceat, optimeque figuris delineatis commonstret."

Ducange in Glossario, in vocibus Æs, Campana, Codon, Cloca, Crotalum, Glogga, Lebes, Nola, Petasus, Signum, Squilla, Tintinnabulum.

Mersenni (F. M.). Harmonicorum Libri XII. Paris, 1629, 1643. (Liber Quartus de Campanis.) This and Biringuccio contain all the art and mystery of bell-casting, &c. &c.

Puffendorff. De Campanarum Usu in obitu Parochiani publice significando, in ejus Observationibus. Jur. Univers., p. iv. No. 104.
