It's a book I'm fond of. Theophilus is very good on metal working, 
which seems to have been his own craft, judging by the book. He is 
interesting but less thorough and expert on the others. It's dated 
about 1100.

There is an old version put out by the University of Chicago Press, 
and a more recent one from, I think, Dover. I'm not sure if the 
latter is a different translation, but I don't think so.
