The Germanisches Museum in Nuremberg preserved a collection of boxes, caskets, chests, and little cupboards decorated in bright colors painted over a background of metallic bismuth (28, 45). In his History of Bismuth from 1400 to 1800, E. O. von Lippmann stated that one of these was made in about 1480 ( 46). By 1572 this art had developed into a craft there, and in 1613 its artisans were incorporated into a guild (47). 

Metallic Zinc. Ancient metallurgists probably lost the volatile zinc metal as vapor because their apparatus was not designed for condensing it. E. O. von Lippmann, a great authority on the history of science, searched the writings of Aristotle, Plmy, and Dioscorides in vain for any mention of it, but an idol containing 87 5 per cent of that metal was found in a prehistoric Dacian ruin at Dordosch, Transylvania (2). 

E. O. Von Lippmann, Geschichte des Zuckers, Max Hesse s Verlag, Leipzig (1890). The art of crystallizing sucrose seems to have had its crude beginning in India at some period between 300 and 600 A.D., probably nearer the later date, but sirups from the juices of sugar canes were doubtless made in far earlier times.
