Anotations

Scope note:

Pieces of wood, paper, cord, cloth, or another material dipped in melted sulfur, phosphorus, or another composition that is readily ignited by friction with a flint or when rubbed against a roughened surface, or when brought into contact with a chemical reagent. Sulfur matches were recorded in China by the 6th century. The first modern, self-igniting match was invented in 1805 by Jean Chancel.
