AGRICOLA, Georgius (1494-1555). De ortu & causis subterraneorum Lib. V - De natura eorum quae effluunt ex terra Lib. IIII - De natura fossilium Lib. X - De veteribus & novis metallis Lib. II - Bermannus, sive De re metallica Dialogus - Interpretatio Germanica vocum rei metallicae . Basel: Hieronymus Froben and Nicolaus Episcopius, September 1546. 2 o (318 x 200 mm). Printer's woodcut device on title and at end, numerous woodcut initials, many historiated. (Some minor marginal worming in title and first few gatherings, a few letters touched at end.) Contemporary German blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, panelled covers decorated with religious and portrait rolls, fleurs-de-lis, and floral tools, brass clasps (some staining, lower fore-corners worn, some other defects). Provenance : Some contemporary marginalia. FIRST EDITION OF "THE FIRST HANDBOOK OF MODERN SYSTEMATIC MINERALOGY" (Grolier/Horblit). This collection of six treatises on geology and metallurgy contains some of Agricola's most important works. The first is considered the earliest work on physical geology. The second work deals with subterranean waters and gases. The third work, Agricola's attempt to classify fossils according to their physical properties, is the first systematic mineralogy. The fourth treatise lists references to minerals and mining in classical history. The Bermannus , Agricola's first work on mining, is here reprinted from the original edition of 1530.
