		Agricola is universally known for this work, a 12-book treatise, which for the first time in the history of western culture offers a detailed and systematic treatment of things metallic.
		Agricola did not live to see his work in print: when it was published in 1556 by the famous house of Froben (with Erasmus of Rotterdam as Editor-in-Chief), he had been dead for several months.
		Agricola, together with other scholars of his time, managed to transform the natural history inherited from ancient Greece and Rome in the light of his own experience, opening the way for the natural analysis of the mineral kingdom in the 18th century.

		Agricola (zijn eigenlijke naam was Georg Bauer) werd geboren in 1494 in Glauchau in Saksen.
		Agricola was bang dat men het hem kwalijk zou nemen dat hij zo maar op eigen houtje het pad van de klassieke auteurs verliet.

		Neither side of his background would seem to suit him to write one of the great books on mining and the refining of ores, but as an official town physician, responsible for treating miners at no additional charge, he seems to have won their trust.
		The engineering half of the partnership knew what the problems were, and the sort of thing that Agricola must have been trying to say, and the classicist could tell whether the vocabulary and grammar could carry that meaning.
		The only thing missing is Agricola's companion treatise on other hazards of mining, like kobolds and other malicious spirits (yes, I am serious; he had lots of testimony from honest miners, after all).
