	Abraham Gottlob Werner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A universal ocean led directly to the idea of universal formations, that Werner believed could be recognized on the basis of lithology and superposition.
		He coined the term geognosy (knowledge of the earth) to define a science based on the recognition of the order, position and relation of the layers forming the earth.
		They resisted speculation, and as a result Wernerian geognosy and Neptunism became dogma and ceased to contribute to further understanding of the history of the earth.

		To the development of that school and to the cultivation of mineralogy and geognosy he thence-forth, for about forty years, devoted the whole of his active and indefatigable industry.
		From a mere provincial institution the Freiberg academy under his care rose to be one of the great centres of scientific light in Europe, to which students from all parts of the world flocked to listen to his eloquent teaching.
		He wrote but little, and though he elaborated a complete system of geognosy and mineralogy he never could be induced to publish it.

	Von den äusserlichen Kennzeichen der Fossilien. : Werner, (Abraham Gottlob)
		Werner purposely chose the name 'geognosy' because the term 'geology', coined shortly before, seemed to him too heavily burdened with the speculative character of geognoic hypotheses.
		Geognosy was not to include unproved ideas, but only the factual 'knowledge of the earth' " (Baumgärtel, p.25).
		Werner was, in effect, the first to produce and teach a comprehensive theory, proven by verifiable facts, based upon the comparison of minerals to substantiate the geological system.

	Crola-The Brocken on a May Morning
		Geognosy was so widely well known that two of Friedrichs paintings are informed by it: Der Watzmann (Berlin, Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen Preussicher Kulturbesitz, 1825) and Die Hochgebirge (formerly Berlin, Nationalgalerie, 1824, destroyed 1945).
		An artist must express the history and structure of mountains through their form (geognosy), as well as paint the other elements of the scene in such a manner that it reveals the laws of nature inherent in their form.
		Informed by geognosy, it is not surprising that Goethe also made a drawing during one of his trips, depicting the Brocken (The Brocken, Weimar, Goethe Nationalmuseum), the highest of the Urgebirge, the very same mountain that would move Crola to draw it over thirty years later.

	Friedrich August von Quenstedt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Von Quenstedt was born at Eisleben in Saxony, and educated at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
		After a period as assistant in the mineralogical museum, he was appointed associate professor (1837) and then professor (1841) of mineralogy and geognosy at the University of Tübingen, a post which he occupied until his death.
		The museum at Tübingen owed its establishment to him.

	a26 What was neptunism?
		Accordingly, the scenery and type of rock exposed would allow a region anywhere on earth to be assigned to one of his formations.
		The word geognosy had been coined by Georg Christian Füchsel (1722-1773) in Historia terrae et maris ex historia Turingiae per montium descriptionem erecta (1762) in which he laid out general principles of historical geology, and related the origin of veins and their minerals to dynamic changes in the earth's crust.
		Such early successes unfortunately perpetuated an overriding enthusiasm for Werner's ideas long after his geognosy, as he called his teachings, was shown in almost every detail to be incorrect.

		In 1826 he succeeded Mohs as professor of crystallography, in 1835 he became professor also of geognosy at Freiberg; and in 1842 he was appointed professor of mineralogy and geognosy in the university of Leipzig.
		At Freiberg he was charged with the preparation of a geological map of Saxony, which he carried out with the aid of Bernhard von Cotta in 1846.

		The definition of GEOGNOSIS as "a science that portrays the creation or the emergence of the Earth as a process..." has been attributed to Karl Marx (click here to read the article).
		The official definition for both terms is: "A knowledge of the structure of the earth, its strata, their relative position and the probable condition of the interior".
		The "new age" and metaphysical definitions of GEOGNOSIS are reflected in the article "Geosophia, Geognosis, and Geopiety: Orders of Significance in Japanese Representations of Space" by Alan Grapard (to read a critique of the article and discussion of GEOGNOSIS, click here).

	Friedrich Mohs (1773-1839)
		He completed his studies in these disciplines as well as in mechanics at the Mining Academy at Freiberg/Sachsen.
		One of his teachers in Freiberg was the mineralogist and geognostician Abraham Gottlob Werner, who introduced Mohs to mineralogy and geognosy.
		In 1801, Mohs became a pit foreman at the Neudorf/Harz mine.

		Other than a hazy notion about the science of geology beginning with the Scotsman, James Hutton, in late eighteenth century, my own history of geology tended to begin with the oil well that Edwin L. Drake drilled near Titusville, PA.
		This book takes the reader back to the beginning, when some students were promoting the term "geognosy" for the science; to the era of Charles Dickens when wealthy nobles ruled over almost all scientific endeavor.
