Book Overview

Georgii Agricolae De Animantibus Subterraneis Liber, quamvis saepe in aliis libris eius mentio sit facta, hoc opus ipsum est quod omnes qui de metallis et mineralibus tractant, non ignorare debent. In hoc libro, Agricola, Georgius, qui fuit medicus et metallurgus Germanus saeculi XVI, describit animantia quae in terris subterraneis reperiuntur, utpote serpentium, muscarum, scarabaeorum, et aliorum. Praeterea, auctor diversas proprietates et virtutes harum creaturarum enarrat, quae in medicina et metallurgia utiles esse possunt. Liber, qui anno 1549 editus est, est una ex principaliis fontibus historicae metallurgiae et mineralogiae.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
