De Re Metallica, 16th Century
Woodcut from Georgius Agricola's, De Re Metallica. Exterior scene showing men using divining rods to locate minerals which several men with digging tools are mining. Georgius Agricola (1494-1555) was a German scholar and scientist. Known as the father of mineralogy. He is best known for De Re Metallica, published in 1556, a treatise on mining and extractive metallurgy. Agricola described and illustrated how ore veins occur in and on the ground, making the work an early contribution to the developing science of geology. He described prospecting for ore veins and surveying in great detail, as well as washing the ores to collect the heavier valuable minerals, such as gold and tin. It was also an important chemistry text for the period and is significant in the history of chemistry. De re metallica is considered a classic document of Renaissance metallurgy, unsurpassed for two centuries.
