(Born: Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., 21 January 1857; DIED: Montgomery County Hospital, Maryland, U.S.A., 8 September 1920) American petrologist & mineralogist. Iddings moved to Orange, New Jersey at age of 10. In 1877, he graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University, where he became interested in mineralogy and petrology. He traveled to Europe, becoming a student from 1879 to '80 of Harry Rosenbusch [1836-1914] at the University of Heidelberg. Upon returning to America in 1880, he went to work for U.S. Geological Survey. There he helped survey the Eureka district of Nevada and Yellowstone National Park. Iddings accepted an appointment as professor of petrology at the University of Chicago in 1895, where he remained until 1908. Then Iddings retired to a private life of scholarship.

(BORN: Yngshyttan near Persberg, Värmland, Sweden, 10 February 1822; DIED: Gräs, Sunnemo parish, Värmland, Sweden, 15 May 1897) Swedish geologist & mineralogist. Studied Bergsskolan Filipstad 1841-42 with special vitsord in mineralogy and chemistry. Studied further chemistry at the laboratory of L. F. Svanberg 1844. Worked in Finland as fieldgeologist at gold-expeditions to Kuusamo. Back in Sweden scholarship at Jernkontoret to 1857. Mineralogical travels in Sweden during field seasons where followed up with winters in laboratory. He described several new minerals from the phosphate bearing quartzite at Horrsjöberg, Värmland. Moved 1859 back to his family home at Persberg, where he stayed until 1871. During this time I. continued his scientific work even though he had no official position. Especially the mineral recourses of Värmland was investigated. Igelström recognized hausrnannite and braunite in the Långban-type manganese ore deposits Långban, Nordmark and Pajsberg and described oddities such as native lead, monimolite, manganophyllite, pyroaurite etc. from these localities. He even recognized a new Långban-type deposit; Sjögruvan in Grythytte parish After I's move to Gräs 1871 follows an idle period regarding his scientific work. The reason for this was that I was more heavily involved in farming both at his family home and his new home that came into the family via his wife. Also, Gräs was much more peripheral to the mining areas of Värmland when comparing to his earlier, central position in Persberg. In the 1880 's he resumed his mineralogical investigations, especially from Sjögruvan from which he described several new species (today many of these have been discredited). Igelströms accomplishments has to be judged in the light of his own time. Doing that he stands out as one of the major Swedish mineralogists. He was extremely productive and published more than 100 articles and short notes in geology and mineralogy in the major Swedish journals of the time many of thes went out in translated versions in several german and french scientific journals.

(BORN: Naples, Italy, cl550; DIED: Naples, Italy, cl631) Italian naturalist & pharmacist. Little is known of Imperato's life. He owned a prosperous pharmacy in Naples, and founded the botanical gardens of city. Imperato also corresponded with many of the famous naturalists of the time, including Aldrovandi, Bauhin, Clusius, Mattioli. His son, Franceso, a lawyer, inherited the collections. His numerous travels in southern Italy allowed him to collect many mineral exemplary, vegetables and animals, and to make many detailed observations on geological outcrops.

Dell'Historia Natvrale, 1599 including botany, mineralogy, metallurgy, mining, zoology, etc. The dedication is to Juan Fernßndez de Velasco, duque de Frías. In his address to the reader, Imperato names Niccolò Antonio Stigliola as having consulted on the text. Thorndike believes Stigliola to be the actual author. On the question of authorship see V. Placcius, Theatrum anonymorum et pseudonymorum, 2 (Hamburg, 1708), p. 379, no. 1430. See also Murray, D. (1904). There are 126 woodcuts in the text. These are of gems, plants, sea creatures, reptiles, and insects. Mortimer suggests Mario Cartaro as artist of these blocks. First edition printed in a small edition for friends of Imperato. The striking double— page frontispiece shows his magnificent library and museum, a vast collection of prepared animals (i.e., birds, fish, insects, and a huge crocodile fastened to the ceiling) and several shelves of books. The text woodcuts show plants, animals, minerals, etc. Of further interest is the theory, introduced by Thorndike and based on two 17th century bibliogrpahies that the actual author of the book was not Imperato but Antonio Nicolo Stelliola (or Stigliola) [?????], friend and disciple of Galilei and author of the earliest treatises on the construction of the telescope (1627).

There is also an illustration of the earliest printed tree of consanguinity. This work, the most notable of Isidore, is the standard authority upon the state of learning at the end of the 6th and beginning of the 7th century. Divided into twenty books, it "defines or discusses terms drawn from all aspects of human knowledge and is based ultimately on late Latin compendia and gloss collections. The books of greatest scientific interest deal with mathematics, astronomy, medicine, human anatomy, zoology, geography, meteorology, geology, mineralogy, botany, and agriculture... His influence in the Middle Ages and Renaissance was great, and he remains an interesting and often authoritative source for Latin lexicography, particularly in technical, scientific, and nonliterary fields." — DSB. In terms of mineralogy, Book XVI, "De lapidibus et metallis," describes stones, minerals, and metals. This was one of the principal sources available in the Middle Ages for ideas about minerals and stones, and was compiled by Isidorus from ancient sources, the most important being Pliny.

Edited by Chrysogonus Polydorus. This is a collection tracts on alchemy attributed to such authors as Geber, Roger Bacon, and Richard Anglici, and representing "the amount of Arabic chemical knowledge made available to Latin reading people toward the end of the 13th century .. the best Latin knowledge of chemistry in that period. We find in them [Geber's writings] remarkably sound views on methods of chemical research; a theory of metals (the six metals differ essentially because of different proportions of sulfur and mercury in them); preparation of various substances (e.g., basic lead carbonate; arsenic and antimony from their sulfides). Geber deals also with various applications, e.g., refinement of metals, preparation of steel, dyeing of cloth and leather, varnishes to water-proof cloth and to protect iron, use of manganese dioxide in glass-making, use of iron pyrites for writing in gold, distillation of vinegar to concentrate acetic acid.

[1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Jackson magnetic force." The study of the manuscripts and printed texts of Geber suggests that the corpus of the writings attributed to Geber is not the work of a single man but, rather, that of a school. In addition to the Latin alchemical writings, which appeared in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, there are older works from the tenth century written in Arabic under the name of Geber. The author of these Arabic writings, however, was not the same as the author of the Latin. Contents: Speculum alchemiae Rogerii Bachonis.— Correctoriurn alcherniae ...

There he accepted an appointment by Francis I as the imperial botanist, and in this capacity he made from 1755 to 1759 an extended botanical expedition to America. Upon Jacquin's return he was appointed councilor for mines, and professor of chemistry, metallurgy, mining and metallurgy at Schemnitz, Hungary. In 1797, he became professor of chemistry and botany at the University of Vienna. For his service to the monarchy, he was made a Baron in 1806. In 1804, Jacquin was elected a member of the French Academy of Sciences. In addition, the plant genus "Jacquine" was named in his honor by Linneaus.

[1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Jameson Scottish mineralogist & geologist. Jameson was a student of John Walker [1743-1804] at the University of Edinburgh. In 1800, he studied mineralogy and geology at the Freiberg Bergakademie under A.G. WERNER. In 1804, upon the death of Walker, he succeeded to the Regius Chair of Natural History, at the University of Edinburgh, a position he held until his own death. In 1808, he help found the WERNERIAN NATURAL History Society, and cofounded in 1819 with David Brewster [1781-1868], The Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. Jameson is today remembered as the greatest exponent of Werner's geological theories in Britain; however, later in life, he accepted Hutton's views. In 1826, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. The mineral "Jamesonite" was named for him by W. HAIDINGER in 1825.

When he became a student at Edinburgh University, he attended lectures on the subject given by John Walker [1731-1803], and was introduced to geology. Soon Jameson was his teacher's favorite student and was given charge of the university's museum and taken on field excursions. In 1794, at the age of 20, he decided to make the study of geology his life's work. Consequently, he spent his summers studying geology and natural history in the Shetland Islands, and in 1797, he arranged an extended visited to the Island of Arran. His observations on the nature of these two locations was published as his Outline of the Mineralogy of the Shetland Islands and the Island of Arran, the first modern geological examination of the region.

In 1798, Jameson spent the summer exploring the Hebrides and the Western Islands, and in 1799 he investigated the Orkneys and revisited Arran. As a result of these journeys he published the much expanded Mineralogy of the Scottish Isles, which incorporated much of the material from his former Outline of the Mineralogy of the Shetland Islands and the Island of Arran (London, 1798).

The first volume opens with a list of works consulted and is followed by a systematic description of species, according to classes, which continues into the second volume. Here it is followed by a series of appendices of additional species, additional British localities, and a tabular view of other systems of mineralogy, beginning with Linné 1736 and including all the important classification schemes to Jameson's day. The third volume is devoted to metallic minerals and closes with indices to all volumes in English, German, and French. The plates show various crystal forms.

SCARCE. This Manual contains an account of simple minerals and mountain rocks. Jameson has extracted descriptions of the most common minerals and abstracted the information from the fuller treatment he provides in his three volume System of Mineralogy (London, 1820) to create the more concise treatment given in this work. The rocks are arranged according to their geological relations, and the descriptions and history are given in such a manner that the student will be able to determine the nature of the veins and strata of a country. The introduction begins with a sketch of Mohs classification system, and the basic characters used to distinguish between species. The text then presents a descriptive mineralogy arranged in the Classes and Orders of Mohs classificatory system. Also contained is a long section on the description and arrangement of mountain rocks. It is based on Mohs' classification system which first appeared in 1820.

SCARCE. The text was originally printed in the supplement volume to the Encyclopaedia Britannica; however, it was printed in this separate form to make it more readily available for the use of the students of mineralogy. Although written for the beginner, it could also be consulted by more advanced mineralogists. Jameson bases his classification upon the system proposed by Friedrich Mohs, which was the reigning natural history method. In the Characters of Minerals, all the typical physical properties such as cleavage, hardness, specific gravity, color, lustre, fracture, transparency, crystallization, etc. Jameson then presents his system of arrangement, and his method for determing the mode of a mineral, so that it could be placed correctly in the system. More than half of the volume is then given over to presenting a descriptive mineralogy arranged in the system. REFERENCES: BMC: 2, 924. • NUC. • Roller &c Goodman, Catalogue, 1976.

First appearance of this comprehensive and well illustrated treatise on theoretical and practical metallurgy, published posthumously by Gabriel's brother, M.G. Jars, who had accompanied him on his journey through Belgium, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, England and Scotland. The French government commissioned Antoine Gabriel Jars to visit mines in these countries, studying their techniques and methods. In this way Jars observed the use of coke in melting iron, and he was the first French metallurgist to apply this technology in an experiment, melting copper with coke in 1769. At first his reports to the French government remained unpublished for fear that foreign governments would profit from this specialist knowledge. However in 1769 after his sudden death Jars's brother began to publish the writings in this first French edition. "Ce livre très estimé, offre, non un itinéraire, mais divers mémoires sur les mines des pays visités par l'auteur: elles sont décrites avec beaucoup d'exactitude; Jars donne leur histoire, les règlements et la forme de leur administration, le mode de leur exploitation ..." (Quérard). The text gives descriptions of mines producing all kinds of metals, the manufacture of azure, white lead, zinc, minium, brass, sulfur, alum, salt, vitriol, bricks, pottery, tiles, coins, etc. The plates show accurate layouts and cross-sections of mines, furnaces, iron and steel works, shafts, mining equipment, plans, and some maps with mining veins indicated.

Societät für die gesammte JENA, Germany. Mineralogie. Founded 1797. This is the first scientific society devoted exclusively to mineralogy. It was established through the efforts of Johann Georg Lenz [q. v.], a professor at the city's University. Lenz together with 18 other founding members elected Count Domokos Teleki [1773— 1798], an amature mineral collector as chairman, and this set the tone of cooperation between scientists and collectors within the organization. By 1801, the Societät für die gesummt Mineralogie zu Jena had a membership of 595 members, including many enthusiastic amateurs and professional mineralogists and students throughout Europe. Many of the best known mineralogical authors of the time held membership. Unfortunately, the complete roster of names as not survived, only some interesting statistics. Of the membership, a high percentage were probably students since 126 lived in Jena and 73 others were Hungarian in nationality. REFERENCES: Wilson, History of Mineral Collecting, 1994. 2469.

VERY SCARCE. Authored by Johanna Salomon [1920-1989] this thoroughly researched volume is the only modern history of the first mineralogical society. The author who died before seeing his book in print has written a concise and accurate statement of the Sozietät für die gesamte Mineralogie's role in mineralogy and German science in general. Using the previously overlooked archives of the University of Jena as well as many other sources a vivid biography is crafted of this Society from its founding in 1796 until its demise in 1830. Included within the 1170 notes are many biographical referneces to the Society's members. The contents may be described as: I. History of the Society from 1796 to 1830. II. Biography of the founder Johann Georg Lenz. III. Goethe as president. IV. Dominik Teleki von Szék and members from Hungary and Transylvania. Historische Nachricht von der Societät ... Von J.F.H.

(Born: San Gimignano, Italy, 1270?; DIED: Siena, Italy?, 1323) Italian Dominican, preacher & encyclopaedist. Giovanni de Goro (or Gorini), Giovanni Coppo (or de' Coppi), Joannes Gorinus de Sancto Geminiano or Giovanni da San Gimicnano assumed the Dominican habit in Siena, Italy. He was middle-aged by the beginning of the 14th century and by 1314 he was famous throughout Italy as a popular lecturer. He authored many ecclesiastical works, including sermons, orations and commentaries on the Gospels, but his lasting monument is a large encyclopedia intended for use by the Dominican preachers. He is also credited with documenting the legend of his home town's patron saint, Santa Fina (i.e., Serafina).

A large encyclopedia of natural, legal and moral knowledge to provide as many concrete illustrations as possible in support of medieval sermons. The original manuscript to this work was completed by 1313, if not earlier, and first printed in this edition by Richardus Pafraet [see note below]. Joannes de Sancto Geminiano divides the text into 10 books, each of which is in-turn divided into various chapters. The commentary is devoted to setting forth resemblances, chiefly those of material things, to things of the mind and spirit. Typical of his age, the author sometimes indulges in what are now viewed as far-fetched examples, but would have been standard views of the educated class of the period. Although not explicitly stated, the ten books probably relate to the ten divisions in the Ptolemaic heavens. The ten books provide numerous examples or "Resemblances" to each of the following subjects in succession: (1) De Ccelo et Elementis, or those to be found in the "Heavens and the Elements," (2) De Metalliset Lapidibus, in "Metals and Stones," (3) De Vegetabilibus et Plantis, in "Vegetables and Plants," (4) De Natatilibus et Volatilibus, in "Fishes and Birds," (5) De Animalibus Terrrestribus, in "Terrestial Animals," (6) De Homine et Membris eius, in "Man and his Members," (7) De Visionibus et Somniis, in "Dreams and Visions," (8) De Canonibus et Legibus, in "Canons and Laws," (9) De Artificibus et Rebus Artificialibus, in "Arts and Artificial Things," (10) De Acitbus et Moribus Humanis, in the "Actions and Customs of Men." Book II covers the metals and stones. Descriptions within it say that sapphire is the act of divine contemplation, while asbestos resembles hell fire, and bitumen bears a resemblance to charity. Some of the comparisons are strange and startling to say the least. For example, the comparison between asbestos and hell fire are based upon a misconception of this mineral. The name, "asbestos," is derived from the Greek (Cisbestoz) and means 'unquenchable," an allusion to the fact that even though it can be reduced to a fibrous condition that resembles the fibers of cotton or wool, it cannot be destroyed by fire. This property gave rise to the myth that it was a substance which when heated to the point of combustion, it would burn forever, and could never be extinguished. Hence, the resemblance to the fire of hell is derived. Numerous editions of this book appeared. Richardus Pafraet. (BORN: ; DIED: ) printer.

Berlin, F. Maurer, 1808. 8°: xii, 522, [2] p., 2 plates (folding). VERY RARE. With a foreword written by MARTIN Heinrich Klaproth, this is the first volume of a series of six that contains the analytical memories of the author. This initial volume works as a good general textbook on practical chemistry techniques in the laboratory. It concentrates on the chemical analysis of natural objects including minerals, with information on the reagents used in the manipulation. Other volumes of the series contain analyses of natural objects from the plant, animal, and mineral kingdoms. With regard to mineral analyses, John investigated zinc ores, meteorites, columbite, tantalite, aragonite, manganese oxides, native silver, copper, and arsenic. He also investigated colored rock salt and found that yellow and red were caused by iron oxides, and although unable to determine the cause for the blue coloring, definitively showed that it was not due to copper. 1810: Chemische Untersuchungen mineralischer, veg- etabilischer und animalischer Substanzen.

On account of his reputed knowledge of chemistry, he became a member of the Rosicrucian Society.

He believed strongly in alchemy. At his retirement in 1771, he moved to Berlin.

During his lifetime Jungius published little, but left directions in his will that his very large collection of papers (which were difficult to read) should be arranged and published, and a bequest was left for this undertaking. Among these was the Mineralia that consists primarily of excerpts from printed books and criticisms of Agricole principally on philosophical points. Jungius also refutes Agricola's classification of minerals into earths, concrete juices, stones and metals, substituting a system of metals, sulfur, salts, and stones.

Kalm was born the son of a Lutheran minister. In 1735, he was admitted to Åbo University (Finland) and then to Uppsala University (Sweden) in 1740. The following year Kalm became a student and friend of Carl von Linné (Linneaus), the famous naturalist. Under the latter's influence Kalm developed a profound interest in the application of botany to agricultural and industrial problems. In 1747 he was designated by the Swedish Academy of Sciences to travel to North America to collect seeds of plants that might prove useful for feeding people or animals, or have some other industrial, domestic or medical purpose. Kalm remained in America, mainly in New England, from 1748 to 1751. After his return to Sweden, Kalm became an instructor at Abo University, where he remained until his death.

The first two volumes treat the author's travels in Norway and England, while the third contains observations on Canada and New England. The voyage was undertaken at the request of the Swedish government for the purpose of discovering whether any North American plants could be introduced advantageously into Sweden. Kalm being one of the ablest naturalists of his time, however, includes numerous observations on the landscape, mountains, rivers, geology and mineralogy of the regions visited. Pehr Kalm's journey to North America originated in a suggestion to Linnaeus by a member of the Swedish Academy of Sciences. It was proposed that a collecting trip be made to regions lying in about the same latitudes as Sweden, with the purpose of discovering new plants of economic and medicinal value. Linnaeus enthusiastically supported the project. He was particularly interested in bringing the Morus rubra, 814 Mineralogy So Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P.

On Linnaeus' recommendation the Academy approved the trip, selected Pehr Kalm as its emissary and the necessary funds were provided. Kalm arrived in Philadelphia in 1748 and after numerous excursions in the districts around that city and New York, he set out for Canada in 1749. He travelled by way of Al-bany and Saratoga and eventually reached Montreal, Three Rivers and Quebec. The next year he visited Lake Ontario and- Niagara Falls. He returned to Sweden in July of 1751 bringing with him a large collec-tion of plant specimens and seeds which he considered might be use- fully grown in Sweden. His collections are preserved in the Botanical Museum at Uppsala. Kalm's account of his travels, En resa till Norra America, contain-ing detailed descriptions of conditions in the new country, became very popular and was translated into German, French, English (three editions), and Dutch.

Kant is one of the most influential philosophers in the history of Western philosophy. His contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics have had a profound impact on almost every philosophical movement that followed him. German philosopher and founder of critical philoso- phy. The son of a saddler, Kant was born and educated in Königsberg (Kaliningrad) in East Prussia. After leav- ing the university he spent a number of years in private tutoring, but taking his master's degree in 1755, he set- tled to teach a variety of subjects as Privatdozent. In 1770 he was appointed to the chair of logic and metaphysics at Königsberg. It was after this that he entered on his great- est, "critical" period. His life was orderly to the point of caricature: he never left Königsberg, and never married. In spite of notorious difficulty of reading Kant, made worse by his penchant for scholastic systematization and obscure terminology, his place as the greatest philosopher of the latest three hundred years is well assured.

The first is the introduction which covers the forms of minerals and crystals, hardness, specific gravity, properties dependent on light and color, electricity, magnetism, and heat, chemical relations and a table of chemical elements. The remainder of the text is devoted to special or descriptive mineralogy. Here the various species and mineral groups are described. These include precious stones, hornblende or augite minerals, felspathic minerals, zeolithic minerals, micaceous minerals, calcareous minerals, compounds of baryta, compounds of strontia, salts of potash, salts of soda, salts of magnesia, salts of ammonia, combustible minerals, and metallic minerals or ores. The chromolithographie plates, first prepared in 1859 are reproduced in beautiful renderings. See Kurr, Johann Gottlob for additional information. References: BL. • NUC. 830 Mineralogy &z.

(Born: Weil der Stadt, Württemberg, Germany, 27 December 1571; DlED: Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany, 15 November 1630) German astronomer. One of the great geniuses of humanity, Kepler studied theology and classics at the University of Tübingen. There he became interested in mathematics and astronomy and became an adherent of the heliocentric theory of planetary motion first developed by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Kepler accepted Copernican theory immediately, believing that the simplicity of Copernican planetary ordering must have been God's plan. In 1594, when Kepler left for Graz, Austria, he worked out a complex geometric hypothesis to account for distances between the planetary orbits-orbits that he mistakenly assumed were circular. Kepler later deduced that planetary orbits are elliptic; nevertheless, these preliminary calculations agreed with observations to within 5 percent. Kepler then proposed that the sun emits a force that diminishes inversely with distance and pushes the planets around in their orbits. Kepler published his account in a treatise entitled Mysterium Cosmographicum (Cosmographie Mystery) in 1596. This work is significant because it presented the first comprehensive and cogent account of the geometrical advantages of Copernican theory. Kepler held the chair of astronomy and mathematics at the University of Graz from 1594 until 1600, when he became assistant to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe in the latter's observatory near Prague. On the death of Brahe in 1601, Kepler assumed his position as imperial mathematician and court astronomer. In 1612 Kepler became mathematician to the states of Upper Austria. Relocated to Linz, Austria, he began publishing a book that took three years to appear. The Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae (Epitome of Copernican Astronomy, 1618-21), which brought all of Kepler's discoveries together in a single volume. Equally important, it became the first textbook of astronomy to be based on Copernican principles, and for the next three decades it was a major influence in converting many astronomers to Keplerian Copernicanism. Kepler also made contributions in the field of optics and developed a system of infinitesimals in mathematics, which was a forerunner of calculus.

According to Ferguson, this is the 4th issue of Kertzenmacher's book. Early work on minerals and mining, still full of supernatural belief but also full of observations and facts gained from nature and experience. The first edition, with the title still beginning with: "Alchirni und Bergwerck" , was published in 1539 at Strassburg by Jacob Cammerlandern. Ferguson states that the preface revealing the author's name was only added since the edition of 1570, but Duveen proved that is was already present in the second edition of 1546, which he had in his collection. This preface is headed as follows: "Petrus Kertzenmacher, etwann Bürger zu Meyntz, ein berühmpter Alchimist, wünscht dem Leser alles guts". On the person of Kertzenmacher however, nothing is known. He compiled his book from a number of earlier works, including the Rechter Gebrauch d'Alchimei from 1531. The book gives numerous recipes on colours, oils, distilled waters, and all sorts of minerals and metals, including a large section devoted to the transmutation and separation of gold and silver, and at the end a treatise by Gilbertus Cardinal is added on solution of metals, polishing of gems, and other practical applications of chemistry.

VERY SCARCE. Probably written as a companion textbook to the mineralogical lectures delivered by the author at Oxford, Outlines of Mineralogy is a derivative work that reflects the state of mineralogy during the first decade of the nineteenth century. It is principally based upon the earlier mineralogical writings of Richard Kirwan and René Just Haüy. For example, the system of classification that divides the mineral species has been lifted from Kirwan and uses the divisions of Earthy, Saline, Inflammable and Metallic Substances. An appendix handles rocks and other aggregates. The crystallographical information scattered through out is derived from Haüy.

In 1616 he elected to enter the Jesuit Order and in 1628 he was ordained a priest. Kircher was a polymath with interests in cartography, exploration, natural sciences, mathematics, natural philosophy, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Syriac and oriental languages. In 1633, he answered a call to Rome by Pope Urban VIII and was appointed professor of mathematics, physics, and oriental languages at the Collegio Romano. He resigned in 1641 to pursue independent studies, however. Kircher was a voluminous author writing on a wide variety of subjects that interested him. REFERENCES: ADB. • Brischar, K., "P.

Rare. First published in 1656, Itinerarium Exstaticum is one of Kircher's most curious works. It is written in the form of a narrative, consisting of two dialogues, in which a certain Theodidactus is caught up in a dream journey and is guided through the heavens by a spirit named Cosmiel. In the first dialogue, Kircher recounts the journey to the moon, which he finds scarred with mountains and craters, contrary to the Aristotelian view. He flies on to Venus, which he discovers is made of the four elements, and son on to each of the other planets and through the region of the fixed stars. In the second dialogue, he deals with the creation of the earth, its position in the universe, its various characteristics and limitations, and finally, its eventual destruction. The second edition of 1660 was prepared by Kircher's friend and disciple Gaspar Schott [1608-1666].

VERY SCARCE. First edition, first issue (engraved titles are dated 1664), of this famous and appealing book; it "must always command a high place in the literature as the first effort to describe the earth from a physical standpoint." (Zittel, p. 25). This work is concerned with geology, mineralogy, mining, astronomy, chemistry, and physics. The first two books contain a consideration of the center of gravity of the earth and the form and constitution of the sun, moon, and earth. Book III is devoted to hydrography and Book IV to the earth's interior, volcanoes, and winds. Books VI- VIII treat the earth's composition. Book X is devoted to minerals and mining. It is in this book that Kircher expressed for the first time the theory that the temperature below the earth's surface increases in proportion to depth. There are also sections on distillation (with some fine illustrations of distillation equipment) and glass-making. Mundus Subterraneus is Kircher's textbok of the physical sciences and is replete with illustrations. It was Kircher's most broadly known work during his life- time, and is the best known in ours. Many chapters deal with geology, mineraology, mining and metallurgy. But the work is not solely geologic. Kircher reports many fantastic speculations about the interior of the earth, its hidden lakes, its rivers of fire, and its strange inhabitants. Major topics include gravity, the moon, the sun, eclipses, ocean currents, subterranean waters and fires, meteorology, rivers and lakes, hydraulics, minerals and fossils, subterranean giants, beasts and demons, poisons, metallurgy and mining, alchemy, the universal seed and the generation of insects, herbs, astrological medicine, distillation, and fireworks. In this work he discloses his experience with palingenesis: he had allegedly resuscitated a plant from its ashes. Much of the work deals with alchemy. Kircher ridiculed Paracelsus' belief in transmutation and discredits the work of alchemists in general, complaining about the obscurity of their writings. This diatribe brought him vicious criticism and abuse later in life from alchemists who no longer feared the authority of the Jesuit order. In this book Kircher expressed for the first time the theory that temperature below the earth's surface increases in proportion to depth. Kircher's Mundus subterraneus contains the first appearance in book form of Eustachio Divini's (1610-1685) "Lunae Facies", a moon map first published in 1649 in broadsheet as an advertisement for the quality of his lenses.

China had been open to Christian missionaries for only a few decades when Kircher, at 28, applied to go there. He was refused, but the refusal only whetted his curiosity. Over the next 37 years he maintained a voluminous correspondence with fellow Jesuits in China, gleaning all the information he could from their letters and journals." Included in the observations and materials Kircher received about China were mineralogical specimens.

KIRWAN, Richard. (BORN: Cloughballymore, County Galway, Ireland, 1733; DIED: Dublin, Ireland, 1 June 1812) Irish chemist, mineralogist, geologist & meterologist. In 1750, Kirwan enrolled with the Jesuits at the University of Poitiers (France), but in 1755, upon death of his brother, he returned to Ireland to inherit the family estates. Kirwan frequently traveled to London, remaining there ten years beginning in 1777. In London, his house became a well known meeting place for those distinguished Kirwan by birth, position, or achievement in science. In 1787, he returned to Ireland. Among the many societies Kirwan was elected to were the Royal Irish Academy, of which he was an original member and subsequently its president. In 1780, he was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, which awarded him the Copley Medal in 1782. The mineral "Kirwanite" was named for him by T. THOMSON in 1831.

VERY SCARCE. The first systematic mineralogy in English that classifies minerals by their chemical composition. In the preface, Kirwan deplores the insignificant position that mineralogy holds in British science. He contrasts this to the progress made in Europe, especially Sweden, Germany and France. He then presents his reasons for writing the work. Citing that until recent advances in chemistry, mineralogy had never had an adequate base on which a system of classification could be founded, Kirwan discusses other methods of classification. While describing these other arrangements, he questions the merits of systems such as Rome de l'Isle's based on crystal form and Werner's based on external characters. He concludes that mineralogy must be considered a branch of chemistry. In this regard, Kirwan follows Cronstedt and uses the later's basic classification, subjugating the mineral species into Earths and Stones, Salts, Inflammables and Metals, based upon the species' chemistry. Kirwan copies from other author's in his mineral descriptions but gives interesting notes that suggest he duplicated the analyses of some species. He appends a chapter to the first part of the work that describes in some detail the procedures for determining analytically a minerals chemistry. Later, several tables are provided that give the results of many analyses. A table listing the specific gravities of gemstones is also included. The section of "Geological Observations" was of great controversy among the geologists of the day. Of particular historical interest to the properites of minerals is a section on pages 171—73 proposing a hardness scale for minerals. The original to this was published in Stockholm by Bengt Andersson Quist [q. v.] as "Försök pä en del Kisel arter och i synnerhet de hårdare så kallade Akta stenar," Kong!. Swenska. Wetenskaps Acad. Handlingar: 29 (1768), 55. This scale of hardness slightly modified by Kirwan is the first to be published in an English book. It is comprised of twenty divisions ranging from chalk (3) to diamond (20). Related work, 1799: Geological Essays. Besides his mineralogical works, Kirwan also authored Geological Essays (London, 1799) in which he vigourously opposed James Hutton's geological theories.

VERY SCARCE. An enlarged and entirely rewritten work based upon Wernerian theories. Kirwan the greatest mineralogist in Ireland was called upon by the parliment in 1792 to participate in a committee to purchase the mineral collection of Nathanael Gottfried Leske [q.v.]. To negotiate the matter he travelled to Germany where he met and became a disciple of Abraham Gottlob Werner [q.v.]. Kirwan was so enthusiastic about Werner's theories, that when he became involved in setting up the newly acquired collection in Ireland, he arranged its specimens according to his friend's ideas of classification. In the preface, Kirwan states that it was this experience that allowed him to write the the second edition of the Elements. The book's considerable enlargement is due in no small matter to the many more analyses and descriptions the author was able to include because of his access of the Leskean minerals. The arrangement of the text follows closely that of the first editii ai.

VERY SCARCE. Translation by Francisco Campuzano from Elémens de Minéralogie (Paris, 1785). This rare book is the first work in Spanish dealing solely with the science of mineralogy. In Campuzano 's notes, a case is made for the study of the science. The translator suggests that great knowledge and national prestige will be gained from discovering how minerals interact with chemistry, a question which then agitated the scientists of Kurope. Following Kirwan, the mineral kingdom is divided into four groups: earths and stones, salts, inflammable substances and metallic substances. The principal characters of each group are described together with the minerals that belong to it. An Appendix contains a brief account of geology and its principal phenomena, as well as a short description of the blowpipe and its use which is illustrated by the accompanying plate. That mineralogy was in flux as a science is evident throughout the volume from the translator's difficulty with dealing in the various terminology.

Kirwan was prompted to author this article as a réponse to Guyton de Morveau's attacks against his mineralogical terminology (Annales de Chemie [See: 23 (1797), 103-4]. Kirwan being the leader of the old school of chemistry became the lightning rod for attacks by supports of the the new chemistry. Morveau, a man Kirwan greatly admired, was an enthusiastic supporter of Lavoiser's [q.v.] new chemistry and one of the principal reformers of chemical and mineralogical nomenclature. However, these attacks contributed to Kirwan's growing disenchantment with chemistry and mineralogy and eventually led to his retirement from the studies. References: NUC: 298, 84 [NK 0167569]. 2682.

In 1759, he was apprenticed to a Quedlinburg apothecary. In 1766, he moved to Hannover, then in 1768 to Berlin, where he managed the apothecary shop of the deceased Valentin Rose the Elder. In 1780, using his wife's dowry, he purchased his own apothecary shop. In 1782, Klaproth was named to the Prussian medical board, and he successively moved through the bureaucracy as assessor (1782-97), councilor (1797-99), and high councilor (1799-1817).

Translated by John Gottlieb Groschke. This treatise by the greatest German chemist of his time, deals with the chemical analysis of tin and copper ores from Cornwall, England. Although originally published as an article (see: Schriftteller der Gesellschaft für Naturforscher in Berlin, 7, 1786), the thoroughness of the study was considered important enough to have this English translation prepared. It is based on research done in cooperation with the English geologist, John Hawkins, who supplied samples of the ores. Using these specimens, Klaproth preformed many chemical experiments, and the descriptions of his tests together with their results makeup the content of the book. The frontispiece illustrates various specimens of wood tin (cassiterite).

VERY SCARCE. The index contained in volume 5 covers the previous volumes. Klaproth expressed doubt that the publication would continue; however, the rare sixth volume, which is not present with many copies appeared in 1815. It was issued as a supplement to the previous volumes and contains its own index. Throughout his professional life, Klaproth published a large number of chemical researches, mostly in the field of analytic chemistry. These studies were based in large measure on thorough examination of various mineral species. The labratory techniques shown off in these studies were far in advance of their time, as is evident by the several new elements Klaproth discovered and the accuracy of the anaylses, which are comparable to present standards. Periodically, Klaproth would collect his papers together, and publish them together in Beiträge zur chemische Kenntniss der Mineralkörper. These volumes must, therefore, be considered one of the greatest works in chemical and deter minitive mineralogy ever published.

By the late nineteenth century, chemistry and mineralogy were considered two distinct studies, although earlier in their history they were considered one and the same. Mineralogy had developed into a study of the materials, characteristics, properties and chemistry of various objects that naturally form part of the earth's crust. Using this image, Knop did not think minerals belonged to a special class of materials, but should in fact be treated as objects of general inorganic chemistry. He therefore called his mineralogy "Anorgranographie" and wrote a textbook on the subject that he titled, System the Anorganographie (Leipzig, 1876). In this work, he gives a classification of minerals together with all the chemical elements known at the time, as well as some naturally occurring organic compounds. Although this volume does propose a mineral system based on chemistry, it is so mixed with the other materials Knop includes as to be almost unrecognizable.

(Born: Nuremburg, Germany, 30 December 1705; DIED: Nuremberg, Germany, 17 September 1761) German artist, engraver, paleontologist & naturalist. Knorr was a palaeontologist, painter, engraver and art dealer in the scientific center of Nuremburg. He made exceptional engraved portraits, landscapes and animal studies after Dürer that are today valued for their accuracy. Knorr is considered a protogeologist intermediate between collectors of natural history objects and those who first used fossils for identification and mapping of stratigraphie succession. But his renown is for the detailed and accurate scientific copper plates he created and used to illustrate the many works on natural history and paleontology authored by himself and others.

RARE. First appearance of this magnificently illustrated and popular natural history book. The work's purpose was to accurately describe and show the contents of a typical private museum or 'Wunderkammer' of the time. A descriptive text in German was prepared by Philipp Ludwig Statius Muller [see note below] and it describes each rendered specimen, including anecdotes and interesting observations but little true science. A long list of citations to naturalists of the 16th to 18th centuries is given in the preliminaries, including Linneaus' Systema Naturae, which is not followed. To appeal the book to a wider market, Knorr incorporated a French translation of the text by Mathieu Verdier de La Blaquière [7-1769] into parallel columns within the book. However, the lasting value and desirability of the book are the 91 truly magnificent folio size hand-colored engraved plates showing a wide variety of specimens, including corals, shells, butterflies, minerals, metals, spiders, fish, birds, animals and reptiles. These plates prepared under Knorr's supervision are among his finest productions at 859 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Knorr. a time when Knorr was perhaps the leading publisher of such plates. Often it is said that the beauty of these illustrations exceeds that of the models, which is why copies of this work are frequently broken. This is true of the six mineralogical plates that are among the best representations of hand-colored mineral illustrations ever produced. A total of about seventy specimens are rendered, including a fine azurite, whose intense blue color is derived from the inclusion of crushed lapis lazuli in the pigment and a large hematite spike that was illustrated several times in other books over the next two centuries. In the 18th century, Nuremberg became a leading center in the publication of finely illustrated natural history books. This was due in large part to the influence of J. Trew, a wealthy Nuremberg physician, who gathered around him leading scientists and artists. Trew's natural history cabinet and menagerie stimulated others in his circle to build their own collections, and it is from this source material that Knorr has drawn upon to illustrate the Delicias Naturas Selectas. This is indicated on the plates by text indicating from which collection the illustrated specimens were obtained. Trew is mentioned many times but so are P.L.S. Muller, D. Schadelock and Knorr himself. Bibliographically, the Delecias was originally published in two parts. The first appeared in 1754 with 38 plates, including an additional engraved title page dated that year. In 1766, the second part containing the reaming 53 plates appeared. This has caused some bibliographers to suggest the work made two separate appearances, 1754 and 1766. However, this is not the case. Philipus Ludovicus Statius Muller. (BORN: Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, 25 April 1725; DIED: Erlangen, Germany, 5 January 1776) Dutch theologian & naturalist. Statius Muller was a Lutheran cleryman at Amersfoort (1745- 1749) and at Leeuwarden until 1756. He then accepted a position as professor of natural history at the University of Erlangen. He possessed a natural history cabinet containing many animals, some of which were depiced in Knorr's Delicias Naturas Selectas, which Statius Muller translated into Dutch.

In 1826 he was appointed professor of mineralogy at the University of Munich. There he introduced new methods of mineral analysis, and in 1855 invented the stauroscope for studying the optical properties of crystals. Sometime before January 1839 he invented a process for fixing images of the camera obscura on paper coated with chloride of silver which led to the development of photography.

This is Kobell's first major work in mineralogy, and it gives detailed descriptions of the characteristics used to distinguish minerals from one another. Emphasis is placed on the physical properties including discussions of crystallography, hardness, color, luster, etc. The section on descriptive mineralogy arranges the species according to the Mohs system of classification.

VERY SCARCE. An attempt to set mineralogical nomenclature into a common system. The author divides the subject into names derived from: 1. Greek and German mythology, 2. mineralogists and friends of mineralogy, 3. localities, 4. crystallization and structure, 5. color, 6. physical properties such as hardness, specific gravity, luster, etc., 7. chemical composition and reaction, 8. peculiarities, uses or allusions and 9. unknown or questionable origin. After discussing the importance of a universal nomenclature for different countries, Kobell gives several rules for naming minerals. For example, names derived from persons or localities should be written according to their original orthography, and not altered for each different language. Greek should be preferred over Latin, and the first name given a species should be preserved only when it adheres to these principles. The author commanded great authority in mineralogy, and many of the species names he suggested or endorsed are still in use today.

Among the best histories of mineralogy is Kobell's treatment of its progress from 1650 to 1860. The book is divided into two parts. The first of these is divided into three sections. The first section, covering the years 1650 to 1750, includes the period when mineralogy was first beginning to emerge as a true scientific discipline; the second section, extending from 1750 to 1800, examines the advances in chemistry, physics and crystallography that altered the course of mineralogy; the third section describes the years from 1800 to 1860 when methods of modern scientific investigation were applied. In each of these sections the author examines separately the physical, chemical, and systematic divisions of the science. In the final section, 1800 to 1860, there are further subdivisions into crystallography, optics, electricity, hardness, specific gravity, nomenclature, and magnetism. The second half of the book chronicles the history of about 200 individual mineral species. For each mineral listed, the time, the story of its discovery, together with many additional details, are given. An index to the described mineral species is included at the end; however, the book, published as number two of a 24 volume series about the history of science, was probably rushed into publication, which would explain why no comprehensive index to the history section is included.

KOKSHAROV, Nicolai Ivanovich von. (BORN: Ust- Kamenogorsk, Tomsk, Russia, 23 November 1818; DIED: St. Petersburg, Russia, 2 January 1893) Russian mineralogist, crystallographer & major-general in the Russian mining corps. KOKSHAROV Koksharov was born into a family of mine engineers. Hence he was educated at St. Petersburg Military School of Mines (today the St. Petersburg Mining Institute), 1830-40. Being the outstanding student, he selected to accompany Murchison and De Verneuil, and afterwards De Keyserling in their extensive geological surveys of the Russian empire, 1840-41. From these travels Koksharov became interested in mineralogy, and most particularly Russian species. Traveling extensively throughout Europe, he made the acquaintance of many distinguished mineralogists, notably C.S. WEISS and G. ROSE in Germany and W.H. MILLER in England. Koksharov had a distinguished career, becoming director of the Imperial Mineralogical Society of St. Petersburg, 1865-92 and director of the St. Petersburg Mining Institute of Mines, 1872-81. He also held membership in some sixty Russian and foreign scientific societies. Koksharov's private collection of minerals consisting of about 3,250 specimens and particularly rich in Siberian species, was purchased by the British Museum of Natural History in 1865.

Instead it made an appearance as an article in the Gornoi Zhurnal. In addtion the plates are numbered I- LXXVII.

This is perhaps the finest topographical mineralogy published in the nineteenth century and certainly one of the most important to ever appear. Koksharov was a pioneer of a new progressive line of thought concerning descriptive mineralogy. He firmly believed that substituting accurate crystallographic values, chemical analysis and physical studies for the simple mineral descriptions used until that time, would greatly advance mineralogical studies. This is the method he used in this work, still the best reference for studing crystallized Russian minerals. Originally, the text for these volumes appeared in Russian as a series of articles published in the Gornoi Zhurnal. Each article dealt with a single mineral species and included meticulous notes on associations and crystal forms. The descriptions give all the pertinent information, including listings of all the known Russian localities. There are also long lists of exterior angles all meticulously measured with a reflecting goniometer by the author. Today, these measurements are still considered to be extremely reliable. Complementing the measurements are exquisite crystal illustrations in orthorhombic projection, all drawn by Koksharov. The crystal drawings are seemingly always complete, perfect and extremely complex. After enough articles had appeared, they were collected together to form individual volumes of Materiafy dlia Mineralogii Rossii. A consequence of this procedure is, however, that there is no apperent order of presentation within the compiled volumes. This work appeared sirniltaneously in two editions. The Russian edition as described is very rare in complete sets, even within Russia. Perhaps as an indication of a lack of interest in the continuation of the Russian edition, it ceased publication as separate volumes with number five. However, the German edition, described in the next entry, had greater popularity outside Russia, and continued publication for an another twenty years and comprises an additional six volumes.

Printed at the Augsburg press of Johann Bämler [see note below]. Konrad composed this work in 1349-51 as a free translation of the De Natura. Rerum of Thomas of Cantimpré, althought Konrad thought the source text to be the product of Albertus Magnus' youth. It was apparently a popular early book around Augsburg, the city where all the incunabula editions were published. The Latin text is reordered somewhat in this German version, with some original material added. Das Buch der Natur is divided as follows: I. Von dem Menschen in seiner gemainen Nature, 50 chapters, describes human anatomy, physiology and interpretation of character from physical signs and dreams. II. Von den Himeln und von den siben Planeten, 33 chapters, descibes astronomy and meterology. III. Von den Tiern in ainer Gemain describes animals in general, including 69 chapters on quadrepeds, 72 on birds, 20 on the creatures of the sea (e.g., crocidile, seal, dolphin, hippopotamus, sirens), 29 on fishes, 37 on snakes, 31 on "worms" (i.e., insects, toads, frogs, snails, leeches, spiders, earthworms). IV. Von den Paumen, 84 chapters, describes trees. V. Von den Kräutern, 89 chapters, describes plants and herbs. VI. Von den edlen Stainen, 86 chapters, describes precious stones. VII. Von dem Gesrnaid, 10 chapters, on various metals, including gold, silver, Gunderfai (electrum), copper, tin, lead, and iron, quicksilver, orpiment, and sulphur. VIII. Von den wunderleichen Prunnen, describes the wonderful properties of streams and waters and with human monstrosities. At the beginning of each book is an introduction describing the various classes. Johann Bämler. (BORN: ; DIED: ) German printer. Bämler is known to have been in Rome at Christmas of 1450. He is also known as a scribe and rubicator as early as 1453 [Gutenberg- Jahrbuch, 1928, pp. 105 &c 106]. His earliest book with a precise date was completed on the 22 April 1472 and his last was finished on the 13 April 1495.

He became professor of chemistry at Giessen and Heidelberg in 1863. He is best remembered for his Geschichte der Chemie (4 vols., Braunschweig, 1843-7). In his researches, Kopp worked to deduce a relationship between the physical properties, the molecular weights and the chemical composition of compounds. In 1849, with Liebig, he founded the important journal, Jahresbericht der Chemie.

Krefft attended St Martin's College, Brunswick, in 1834-45 and then worked in a mercantile firm in Halberstadt. In 1850 he migrated to the United States and in November 1852 reached Victoria, Australian. He worked in various goldfields until 1857 when he went on an expedition to the Lower Murray and Darling Rivers. He built a large natural history collection and was employed by the National Museum, Melbourne, to catalogue it. He eventually was appointed curator of the museum. Theft of several gold specimens in 1873 led to his dismissal, however. Subsequent legal action, forced Krefft into bankruptcy.

(BORN: Lwow, Poland, 6 June 1883; DIED: Krakow, Poland, September 1941) Polish mineralogist, crystallographer & petrologist. Kreutz was the son of Szczçsny Kreutz, who had been professor of mineralogy at the University of Krakow. He was educated at the University of Vienna under F. Becke, and in 1908 he worked under H.A. MlERS on the parallel growth of crystals. Afterwards, he became assistant to J. MOROZEWICZ professor of mineralogy at the University of Krakow, succeeding him in 1919. Eventually, Kreutz was appointed director of the Mineralogical Institute of the Jagiellonian University, Krakow. His research was related to the relationship between optical properties and chemical composition, twinned crystals, and the amphibole group. He also wrote on Polish minerals and rocks. In 1941, under the German occupation of Poland, Kreutz with the other professors of the University was executed. References: Gawel, A. and Z.

KUNZ KUNZ, George Frederick. (Born: New York City, New York, U.S.A., 29 September 1856; DlED: New York City, New York, U.S.A., 29 June 1932) American gemologist. Kunz was the son of immigrant parents. At the age of ten his family moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, where he attended the public schools. Being poor, he was unable to afford college, however, Kunz taught himself enough mineralogy that he was able to secure in 1879 a position at the famous jewelry manufacturer, Tiffany &c Company. He remained with the firm until his death, rising to vice president and finally trustee. He was highly successful in locating American sources of gems to be used in Tiffany's jewelry designs, and this brought him the honorary position of special agent of precious stones for the United States Geological Survey (1883 to 1909). Among many honors, Kunz was a founder and president of the New York Mineralogical Club. In 1903, a pink variety of the gem mineral spodumene was named "Kunzite" in his honor.

VERY SCARCE. A popular author on all aspects of gemology, this is Kunz's first major book and is devoted to a through description of North American gemstones. The volume contains information on gemstones and their locations in North America that Kunz had gathered from correspondents located all over the continent. These were the same people that supplied local information for inclusion in Kunz's annual contribution to the Minerai Resources of the U.S., for which Kunz wrote the "precious stones" chapters for many years. In addition, being a vice president of the famous jewelry firm of Tiffany &¿ Co. Kunz actively encouraged the exploitation of gem deposits and stood ready to purchase recovered material to financially assist such ventures. While much of the contained information has been augmented or improved upon in intervening years, the unique nature and value of this work is unquestioned and it is still of value today. The handsome colored lithographic plates included in this book together with those found in Hamlin's tourmaline monographs are among the finest chromolithographie plates of minerals ever produced in the United States.

The first is the introduction which covers the forms of minerals and crystals, hardness, specific gravity, properties dependent on light and color, electricity, magnetism, and heat, chemical relations and a table of chemical elements. The remainder of the text is devoted to special or descriptive mineralogy. Here the various species and mineral groups are described. These include precious stones, hornblende or augite minerals, felspathic minerals, zeolithic minerals, micaceous minerals, calcareous minerals, compounds of baryta, compounds of strontia, salts of potash, salts of soda, salts of magnesia, salts of ammonia, combustible minerals, and metallic minerals or ores. The hand-colored plates, prepared for this first edition, were sold by the publisher to other distribution houses throughout Europe. These were used to issue translations of this popular "coffee-table" book in English (1859) and French (1859). A decade later, after chromolithography had become available to produce realistic colored illustrations by a cheaper method, the publisher had the plates redone. These new plates are easily identifiable with the absence of the word "Tab." from the top of each plate. The publisher then issued many subsequent editions and variants of the basic work in German. These included several editions prepared by ADOLF KENNGOTT after Kurr's death. In addition, the chromolithographs were sold by the publisher to firms in other countries, where the rather simple text was translated into the native language, issued with the German plates and a new mineralogical work published. As a result, a multitude of translations, some with multiple editions appeared causing a bibliographical knot. The following entries will hopefully provide guidance on the known editions.

This very early topographical study contains mostly descriptions and good woodcut illustrations of the fossils and minerals discovered by the author in the area around Hildesheim, Germany and then held in his personal collection. The text illustrations and the folding plates figure various objects from this collection, including crinoid stems, crystals, and an Egyptian sarcophagus. Gatterer notes this is the first use of now obsolete term "Oryktographia" that was used through out the eighteenth century as a synonym for mineralogy. It is invoked in Greek on the title page as "0РУКТ0ГРАФ1А" . This is also the first book describing the mineral species found within a single geographical region and therefore it may be considered the first topographical mineralogy (at least the compiler knows of no other earlier work!).

In the introduction a long passage describes the preparation of the necessary reagents, and methods for testing their purity.

RARE. One of the earliest studies of Swiss mineralogy and paleontology, this work describes the figured stones, minerals and fossils of the country. Lang was an aggressive collector who amassed a large collection of natural history objects found in his native land. These formed his "Museum Lucernense Langianum" which included preserved plants, animals and birds, as well as a large component of mineralogical objects, t 1 ! In this work Lang provides original descriptions of many of them. For this work, Lang choose his best specimens for 906 Mineralogy So Crystallography: A Biobibliography Sz History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 illustration. Lang was a proponent of the formation of fossils within the rocks. He believed that the fossils had developed from moist seed-bearing vapors which had risen from the seas and entered into the earth's strata and strongly argued against the diluvialists that fossils were the result of the " Great Flood" . Lang's fossil descriptions and theories were used by Beringer in his ill-fated 1726 work "Lithographie Wurceburgensis" . The beautifully engraved title frontispiece page drawn by the artist Besutius and engraved by Blancus shows a collection of mineral and fossil cabinets. The plates illustrate minerals, fossil vertebrates and invertebrates, and fossil plants. Hoover 505; Ward &c Carozzi 1321. A very scarce work on the minerals and fossils of Switzerland. In 1735 a small supplement with 10 pages and 1 plate was published. Lang was one of the last authors who believed in the direct origin of the fossils in the rocks and particularly argued against the conception of the diluvialists that fossils were animals destroyed by the Flood. "Lang's fossil descriptions were used and his theories discussed by Beringer, and Lang is said to have been a colleague of Scheuchzer. Yet the closeness of the relationship with Scheuchzer is open to question since the latter was a diluvialist" (D. S. B. VIII, p. 4). The beautifully engraved frontispiece drawn by Ambrosius Besutius and engraved by Paulus Blancus shows a geological cabinet, containing minerals and fossils. "The physician and senator Karl Lang (1670- 1741) established his 'Museum Lucernense Langianum', in Lucerne; it contained mostly minerals and fossils. In 1858 it was purchased by the Natural History Museum of Lucerne" (Wilson. The History of Mineral Collecting p. 119). The plates show minerals, fossil plants, fishes, a human skeleton, and shells. A good copy. = Ward and Carozzi, 1321; Nissen ZBI, 2375. A very rare work on the fossils of Switzerland with the beautifully engraved frontisp. showing a mineral Cabinet, drawn by A. Besutius and engraved by Blanus. The plates depict minerals, fossils, plants, fishes and mainly shells and one plate gives a view of the famous Mons Pilatus by Melchior Füessli which was one of the first mountains to be described in a mineralogical way. See also DSB vol.8 p.4. Notes: [1] Wilson (1994): The collection was acquired by the Natural History of Lucern (which Lang founded) in 1858.

The book documents this with inclusion of the works of Andrea del Sarto, Primaticcio and Michelangelo. The woodcuts represent various kinds of animals, terra cottas, arms, stones, minerals, etc. The large folding plate shows the interior of the museum. Arranged according to the theories of Aldrovandi. The volume is divided into five books. The first lists human and animal specimens, birds and monsters. The second covers reptiles, fish, corals, shells and fossils, minerals, crustaceans, and plants. The third treats 'exotic' books and manuscripts, mathematical, scientific and nautical instruments, weapons, vases, funerary tablets and games. Book four describes medals and coins, while the last book classifies religious images from localities throughout the known world. The famous collections of Aldrovandi, as well as his library and manuscripts, were bequeathed to the city of Bologna. A list of these items has been incorporated here with the rest of the Cospi Museum. Ferdinando Cospi. (BORN: Bologna, Italy, 19 January 1606; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 1686) Italian politician. Italian senator and purchasing agent in Bologna for the Medici family, Cospis large and varied collection was given to the senate of Bologna. It was first housed in an annex to Aldrovandi's museum. In 1743, a large portion was moved to the Instituto delle Scienze, which was incorporated into the Museo Civico di Bologna in 1871.

Leigh, remembered primarily as a naturalist and a Fellow of the Royal Society, was a physician by profession.

The text of this volume is most intriguing: it is a catalogue of antiquities, an archaeological survey, and, excuse the modern parlance, a freak show, all in one. One of the authors many goals is to demonstrate and prove, by producing artifacts and animals from far-flung corners of the world, that a huge flood covered the whole earth and dislodged hippos from the home lands, and planted them in the mud of Lancashire. In addition to the text, one is treated to illustrations of such rare and wonderous objects as the The devils arse and a woman with horns, among others.

He continued to pursue theological studies for a time, but eventually he became interested in scientific studies, especially mineralogy. The study of minerals suited Lenz, and the newly invented system of A.G. WERNER, opened new worlds of discovery for him. Lenz choose to pursue a career in the field, and consequently, he was made a professor of mining and mineralogy at the University of Jena. When the University acquired J.E.I. W'ALCH's mineral collection, Lenz was made its curator. Lenz was a founding member and driving force behind the SÖCIETÄT FÜR DIE GESAMMTE MINERALOGIE in Jena, which was the first society devoted to exclusively to mineralogical studies. A mineral collection he assembled for his own studies was purchased in 1799 by the Dutchman Marinus van Marum [1750-1837] and eventually incorporated into Teyler's Museum in Haarlem.

SCARCE. The superb notes and references make this work more than a standard mineralogical text. The author had a good knowledge of the science, as is shown by the many instances where a complete synoptic history of the subject being described is added in a note. The work is divided into two portions. The first treats crystallography, physical properties, specific weight, optical characters, magnetism, electrical qualities, phosphorescence, and concludes with a discussion of the chemical properties and the theoretical framework and nomenclature for the proposed mineral classification. The second portion arranges the species into the system. REFERENCES: Dana's 7th (Bibliography): 76. • NUC: 327, 215-6 [NL 0266652]. 2990. 2nd edition, 1862: Katechismus der Mineralogie.

LEONHARD, Karl Cäsar von. (Born: Rumpenheim near Hanau, Germany, 12 September 1779; DlED: Heidelberg, Germany, 23 January 1862) German mineralogist & geologist. Leonhard was the father of GUSTAV VON LEONHARD. He was a professor of mineralogy and geognosy at the University of Heidelberg from 1818 onwards. Earlier, he was land assessor in Hanau. He was the founder and publisher of one of the first mineralogical magazines, Taschenbuch får die gesammte Mineralogie, which is the ancestor of today's Jahrbuch [Neues] får Mineralogie, Geologie, und Palaeontologie. Leonhard built a personal mineral collection of over 8,000 specimens from the Harz, Switzerland, Poland, Vesuvius, Eifel, France, Iceland and elsewhere. This collection was acquired by the University of Göttingen after his death.

This volume consists of a systematic survey of various mineralogical properties in the form of a series of tables. The lengthy descriptions give ample reference to external characters and the chemical qualities. In many instances throughout the text of this volume, the authors have also included remarks that reflect the inadequacies of science they had personally experienced; they fully understood the limitation of mineralogical science in their own time and attempt to convey this information to the reader. Leonard wrote the oryctognosy section, Merz the oryctology, and Kopp the chemical sections. Ernst Karl Friedrich Merz.

Co-authored with Johann Heinrich Kopp and Carl Ludwig Gaertner [see note below] , this remark- able mineralogy was the product of two years cooper- ation between the authors. It was intentionally writ- ten as an introductory volume to Leonhard, Merz and Kopp's earlier, Systematisch— Tabellarische Uebersicht und Charakteristik der Mineralkörper (Frankfurt am Main, 1806) [see previous entry]. After the short introduction which covers general information and definitions, the Propaedeutik is divided into seven major sections. The first of these concerns mineralogy in general, and covers outer characteristics like color, crystal form, cleavage, and taste, inner char- acteristics like hardness, phosphorecenze, magnetism, and electricity as well as classification schemes and nomenclature. Section two gives a distinctly Wernerian view of geognosie and how the earth is geologically or- dered, ore deposits, a theory of the planet's structure, 937 Mineralogy á¿ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Leonhard and geological nomenclature. The third section con- cerns fossils. Section four is a highly interesting account authored by Leonhard on the collecting of minerals. De- tails include instructions for the numbering and label- ing of specimens as well as the importance of cataloging ones collection. Section five briefly lists the epochs thus scene in the history of mineralogy, with Werner [q. v.] being given the most prominent typeface, followed next by Haüy, Agrícola, etc. The sixth section is an impor- tant and extensive bibliography covering mineralogy, geognosie, and paleontology. Compiled before the avail- ability of other major bibliographic works, this miner- alogical bibliography listing 2740 items is a remarkably complete list of books available to the mineralogist of the period. This classified bibliography was prepared by Gaertner, and it is divided into seventeen general cat- egories including literature Sc history, ancient mineral- ogy, periodicals, nomenclature, dictionaries, textbooks, systematic, topographical works, chemical, geology, and paleontology. Concluding the work is the seventh sec- tion, which gives an alphabetical list of all the authors mentioned in the bibliography together with short bi- ographical notes. In some instances, this is today still the only biographical information availiable about the authors. A very scarce book, probably due to a high cost in production. Johann Heinrich Kopp. (BORN: Hanau, Germany, 17 September 1777; DIED: Hanau, Germany, 28 November 1858) German physician & chemist. Kopp held an advanced degree in chemistry and was appointed professor extraordinary in 1843 and professor ordinary in 1853 in physics and chemistry at the University of Giessen. Karl Ludwig Gaertner.

A complex and detailed work examining in every facet of the mineral kingdom the evidence of God's fingerprint. Referencing and quoting hundreds of ancient and contemporary writers Lesser assembled a tremendous bank of information to support his viewpoint that God alone was responsible for geology, mineralogy, crystallography, etc. The author was so successful in selecting his evidence that the Lithotheologie is commonly viewed as the one of the foundation works in reconciling theology with mineralogy and geology. The text is divided into nine books: (1) covers the fundamental relationship between the earth, air, water and life, (2) describes the origins of rocks, fossils and minerals, (3) describes the occurrences of mineralized bodies inside the earth, (4) covers the properties of stones and minerals, (5) highlights precious and semiprecious gemstones, (6) stones used in building, manufacture and art, (7) provides descriptions of the misuse of gemstones, e.g. mythical powers, (8) covers artificial stones of all types, and (9) wondrous stones, such as Lot's wife turned to a pillar of salt. At the end are two indexes. The first provides references to sections in the Bible, while the other lists subjects covered.

A comprehensive introductory treatise on practical mineralogy that includes chapters on crystallography, optics, physical properties, chemical constitution, and illustrated with good color plates of various mineral species. The first portion of the text is divided into 6 sections. Topics covered are definitions, crystallography, optics, physical properties, chemical composition, practical determination of mineral species, and an overview of the systematic classification. The second portion is a descriptive mineralogy that illustrates many of the described species on one of the 26 chromolithographie plates, which show 396 mineral specimens. These renderings are of good quality with individual species easily recognizable. They are the same plates that accompanied Gustav Adolf Sauer's Mineralkunde (Stuttgart, 1905-6) and Alexander Bernard's Atlas Minerdlù (Prague, 1907).

Second augmented edition, edited by FRANZ Ernst Brückmann, consisting of a reworking of the first edition together with supplemental material bringing the work up to date with a total of cl750 entries. It contains information found no where else. For example, there are scattered references to collection catalogues of mineral collections with short notes on their fate. For example "Catalogue ... über Metallen und Mineralien" of Benedict Drechsler, a mining officer in Wunsiedel, is described, and this is the only reference to this particular work. Brückmann adds that his fine collection was destroyed by fire in 1731. Two other supplements taking the work to 1742 were published by Brückmann in his Epistolorum Itinerariarum Centuria, 1742-50.

While in England he became associated with the successful mineral dealer Henry Heuland. Through Heuland, Levy came to know many of the leading English scientists, including especially William Hyde Wollaston [1766-1828] and the astronomer John William Herschel [1792-1871].

[Atlas] 84 plates of crystal drawings on 83 leaves. VERY SCARCE. One of the most elaborate and important catalogs of any mineral collection. About 1806 Henry Heuland [see note below] the premier mineral dealer of the nineteenth century obtained a fine collection of minerals formed by his mineral dealer uncle Jacob Forster [see note under Rome de l'lsle]. After considerably enhancing the collection with valuable additions, Heuland sold the collection to Charles Hampden Turner [see note below] in 1820. However, a condition of the sale was that an elaborate catalogue raisonné following the classification system of Haüy be prepared together with an atlas of crystal drawings. For this task the services of Armand Lévy, then resident in London, were retained. The dilgence of Lévy as a mineralogist was impressive. It was due to his careful examination of this large collection and his preparation of the illustrative crystal drawings that Levy discovered and described the mineral species: forsterite, babingtonite, brochantite, roselite, brookite, herschelite, phillipsite, and beudantite. In addition, Levy also described many new varieties of mineral species already known. These 944 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Leymérie descriptions were set forth in a number of articles published between 1822 and 1827. Then based upon the reputation created by these articles, he left London to live and teach in Belgium. This move to the continent ceased Levy's involvement with the Catalogue, even though as Heuland states in the preface, Levy had been given a substantial advance. In frustration, Heuland, on the advice of Henry James Brooke [q.v.] and his son Charles Brooke, turned the work over to M.E. Brookes who completed the 34 remaining plates and brought the manuscript to publication. The collection itself was eventually incorporated into Henry Ludlam's, which was bequeathed to the Museum of Practical Geology in London. John Henry Heuland.

Subsequently the collection was sold to Charles Hampden Turner, that was later incorporated into Henry Ludlam's, now in the Museum of Practical Geology, London.

The plates belong to the mineralogical volume, which occupies volume four. The twelfth edition of the Systema Naturse incorpo- rated Linnaeus' most mature thought concerning individ- uals of the mineral kingdom. There were, Linnaeus stated in the preface to this section, three methods one might use to investigate the stones, minerals and fossils found in the natural enviorrnent. The first was the physical, which "de- scended through the obscure generation of minerals" ; the second was the natural, which "considered the superficial and visible structures" ; and the third was the chemical, which ascended through to the middle course, and, having thus provided a justification of his methodology, Linnaeus proceeded to make a systematic classification of various crystalline substances. — Burke (1966).

A journey undertaken by Linnaeus in 1746 to various places in the central provinces of Sweden. It was one of several such trips financed by the government. On the pages shown here Linnaeus discusses Fdrgegrdsen or plants used to make dyes. He describes three varieties one of which is Wejde (Isatis tinctoria). This plant, often growing to a height of about three feet, bluish green in appearance and with a yellow flower, was used prior to the discovery of sea routes to India, to prepare indigo. This and other native colors were used in the provinces to dye peasant yarn and woven materials. The illustration, drawn by Linnaeus is Wejdeqwarnen or the Isatis mill which was used to pulverize the leaves of the plant. Domestic dyes made from plants are now being used again in Sweden because of the renewed interest in peasant crafts. Facsimile reprint with commentary, 1928: Carl Linnaei .

A description of the mineralized forms of the silver chloride and bromide mineral species found in the German mines. Because of their particular crystallization characteristics, they resembled the horns of animals when encountered in the mines, hence the nickname given by the miners "horn- sil ver". The first portion of the text recounts the history of hornerzes, including its first discovery, the origin of the name, its occurance, and the probably origin of the ore in the mines. The second portion provides a natural history of the species including external characteristics and its forms and crystal structure. The plate shows 6 figures of various crystallized specimens.

(Born: Deniskov- a [now Lomonosov] near Archangel, Russia, 8 November 1711; DIED: St. Petersburg, Russia, 4 April 1765) Russian polymath. Lomonosov's father was a farmer and fisherman, and as a youth he travelled the northern seas. Karly on he learned to read and write. In 1730, he travelled by foot to Moscow where he studied ancient languages in the city's academy. In 1736 having shown himself to be one of the best students, he was first sent to the St. Petersburg Academy of Science and then for three years to Marburg University in Germany where he was instructed by the philosopher Christian Wolff [1679-1754]. In 1739, Lomonosov travelled to Freiberg in Saxony to work in the laboratory of JOHANN FRIEDRICH Henckel. There he became immersed in problems of mineralogy, mining and metallurgica chemistry. He returned to St. Petersburg in 1741. Lomonosov was made an associate professor of physics at the academy in 1742, followed by a professor of chemistry in 1748. From this post, he opened in 1745 the first chemical laboratory in Russia, and in 1758 became director of the geographical department. Through out his carrer at the St. Petersburg Academy, Lomonosov was continuously fighting the imported European scientists to make Russia a true scientific power. His believe was that his homeland was the equal of any country in Europe, but the dominance of foreigners on the committee disregarded his patriotic views.

In this the official catalogue of the imperial collections housed in St. Petersburg, the mineralogical portion was prepared by Lomonosov. It formed the fourth part of the general contents that also included scintific and musical insturments, and objects from the Middle East and the orient, especially China. It was written after Peter the Great's buying expeditions in Europe. In 1724, Peter the Great placed his scientific collections under the administration of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Many of the mineralogical specimens survive today as part of the enormous gem and mineral collection preserved in the Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Moscow. One of the first works that Lomonosov wrote on his return from Germany was the Catalogue of Minerals in which was a detailed description of the gems and fossilized stones collected in the minerals showroom in the Kunstkammer of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. This work eventually became to a great extent the source for the successive theses of his on mineralogy, mining and metallurgy. The work he began in 1741 in compiling a catalogue of the mineral collections of the Academy of Sciences called for the careful study of many minerals and thus provided practical support for his ideas regarding the structure and the processes involved in the formation of crystals. In his dissertation, 'On the Origin and Nature of Saltpetre', which he wrote in 1749, Lomonosov gave a detailed version of his views on the structure of crystals. 'His conceptions of the structure of crystals formulated in this dissertation', wrote the well known crystallographer I. I.

CONTENTS: Translated title: First essentials of metallurgy or the business of mining. Rare. This is the most significant work dealing with aspects of mineralogy, mining and metallurgy published in 18th century Russia. Although Lomonosov supports several basic ideas that were first proposed by AviCENNA, the work displays an especially comprehensive display of mineralogical and geological details. Lomonosov classifies minerals into six categories: (1) metals, (2) semi-metals, (3) fatty minerals, (4) sulphur, (5) stones and earths and (6) ores. He emphasises the geological deposits of ores and gives suggestions for successfully locating other valuable formations. These observations include looking for rocks that appear broken over a good size area, looking for fragments of rock that are known to exist with ores, minerals that leave a residue of sulphur when heated, and sickly vegetation and trees that have pale leaf colors. Lomonosov was clearly among the first researchers to observe a substantial relationship between valuable minerals and their surrounding enviorment. This work was written as a textbook and practical guide for workers at the mines. As such, Lomonosov included everthing that might be of use in the field. For example, Lomonsov provides details for various metallurgical processes used to extract metals from the ore. The work was considered so successful in its execution that copies were sent to the Ural Mountains, the Altai, and other mineralized areas throughout Russia.

After the death of Egenolf, Lonicerus inherited a share of the business, one of the most prosperous in Germany, and ran it with his brothers-in-law. 1554, he married the daughter of Frankfurt printer Christian Egenolph (d. 1533). He then inherited a share of this substantial business. Upon marrying Magdalena Egenolf, he became a citizen of Frankfurt. He dedicated the second part of his natural history (1555) to the city, and received a 10 taler honorarium. He also dedicated a 1573 book to the city.

Preface signed: Adamus Lonicerus, medicus Ordinarius physicus Francfurt. Title vignette. Includes indexes. RARE. First edition in German of this popular herbarium, which also included descriptions of animals, birds, fish, fossils and minerals, along with details of distilling apparatus. This popular herbal had many editions after its first appearance in 1557, and is a compilation based on previous works, principally Eucharius Rösslin's Kreuterbuch of 1533 and T. Dorsten's Botanicen. The numerous woodcuts are copied from the herbáis of Brunfels, Fuchs, Bock and others. These illustrations show depictions of animals, plants, distilling apparatus, metals and gems to which human figures were added in later editions. Although Lonitzer's herbáis had little influence on Linneaus and post— Linnaean taxonomy, they were popular works until the 18th century. This is not a new work in any sense but is, instead, a combination of an earlier version of Der Gart der Gesundheit and Brunschwig's Das Buch zu Distillieren. The first edition appeared in 1533, and was edited by Dr. Eucharius Rosslin. After Rosslin's death, the herbal portion was edited by Theodore Dorsten and entitled the Botanicon. Both of these publications were then brought together, re-edited, and combined with Lonicer's own contributions in 1557 to form the Kreuterbuch. Most of the illustrations were pirated from other sources, including herbáis of Brunfels and Fuchs. There is no "standard" edition of this work, since through its many editions the order of entries has been rearranged repeatedly. Fact is not always distinguished from fiction because publishers learned that the mention of fictitious animals and plants appealed to the masses and bolstered book sales. For 20th century readers the text provides quaintness and medieval charm, but those who followed some of the misleading advice must have suffered greatly. However, what might seem to us to be outrageous remedies were usually harmless because no one could procure the exotic ingredients. Some of the medications mentioned were based on ancient remedies dating back to Egyptian papyrus records; for example, the healing properties advanced for Ricinus, the castor bean, were almost the same in ancient papyri as in works printed 3,000 years later. One remedy mentioned here is the Bezoar stone, made up of lime and magnesium phosphate, which was found in deer stomachs and intestinal tracts. These stones reputedly provided a miraculous antidote to poison, so they were often placed in goblets to protect against poisoned wine. They were in vogue in Europe from the 12th century on. There was a good market for them at the time of Louis XIV when such stones might sell for 50 times the price of an emerald of equal size. Patients who could not afford to purchase them outright could rent them by the day. Elizabeth I owned a large one which was set in gold and became a part of the crown jewels. The Shah of Persia presented four Bezoar stones to Napoleon I, hoping they might help cure his many ailments. This book caught the popular fancy and sold many copies. It was considered a real money-maker. Printed repeatedly, it remained a best seller for 250 years. One of the most recent editions was issued in 1783.

VERY SCARCE. These two volumes that are usually bound in one, form a quaint natural history encyclopedia typical of the 17th century. Contained within the first volume are an introduction to the history of animals and minerals and extensive accounts of all things related to animals, which deals in turn with beasts, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. The second volume with a separate title page concerns minerals. This is the earliest work on minerals by an English author, and it is perhaps only predated in the English language in its subject by the translation and subsequent editions of Albertus Magnus' Liber Aggregations (Boke of Secrets, 1st ed., London, cl550). The mineralogical descriptions are compiled from about 250 authors and deal chiefly with minerals from the standpoint of their medicinal uses. Only the sketchiest indications of localities are included , but the sections on precious and semiprecious stones are quite extensive. Lovell was a prolific reader, with an extensive knowledge of books and a wonderful industry in the collection of his materials, as well as a good judge in the arrangement of text. He utilized his talents to write an earlier work on botany (Sive Enchiridion Botanicum, Oxford, 1659) and the present 2 volumes complete his study of the natural kingdom with animals and minerals. Here, Lovell systematically recorded without judgment all that he found in the course of reading the old naturalists. He repeats all the legends and tales of the past without questioning their credibility. For example, he states quite seriously, that caterpillars are formed from dew congealed on cabbage leaves by the sun, and that fleas are generated from the action of sweat upon dust trapped in dogs hair. Yet, in Lovell's time, ROBERT BOYLE was living and experimenting at Oxford and the Royal Society was collecting Maydew — perhaps to congeal some caterpillars — and chemistry, physics, and astronomy were all advancing. The text of the mineralogical volume is divided into 4 sections, with subdivisions occurring in each. Arrangement of the individual species within subdivisions is always alphabetical. The sections are (1) Geologia, which describes the Earths, including chaulk, clay and Fuller's earth, the Mettais, including copper, gold, iron, lead, silver and tin, the Semi— Mettalls, including antimony, cinnabar and mercury, Mettals Naturall Excrements, including chalcocite and marcasite, Mettais Artificial Excrements, including Cadmia and Plumbago, (2) Halologia, which describes Salts, including alum, amoniack, common salt, nitre and vitrol, (3) Theiologia, which describes Sulphurs, including amber, arsenic, asphalt and brimstone, and (4) Lithologia, which describes Stones, including precious (=agates, amethyst, beryl, bezoar stone, ruby, sapphire, topaz, etc.) and stones less than precious (=alabaster, lapis lazuli, bloodstone, borax, crystal, limestone, lodestone, etc.).

In 1826 he was appointed professor of surgery at the Academy of Science. In 1834, he also became a professor of natural history at Moscow University. He authored works on questions of zoology, mineralogy, economy, physiology and pathology. He was also an early investigator of infectious diseases of humans, and held the view that they were transmitted by parasites in the body.

Lovetskii's First Foundation of Mineralogy argues against the ideas of Neptunism and is thus against Werner. He asserts the importance of chemistry in mineralogy as a means of classification and for studying the formation of minerals. Lovetskii is among the earliest mineralogists to describe amber as a combustible mineral of organic origin. As evidence he bases this view on the fact that insects are held imprisoned with in the fossilized amber.

She was apparently of short stature and it is said that when Varley's apprentices grew bored, they would toss Mrs Varley back and forth amongst them. A painting on ivory of Delvalle by her father is apparently held in the collections of the British Museum.

(BORN: Paris, France?, 1780; DIED: Paris, France, 6 February 1825) French naturalist. Lucas spent much of his youthful free time roaming the Musuém dHistoire Naturelle in Paris and reading G.L. BUFFONs monumental Histoire Naturelle (Paris, 1743-93). He decided early on to pursue a career in natural history and most especially mineralogy. He became officially associated with the Museum Histoire Naturelle in Paris as a curator and purchasing agent. Because of his extensive knowledge, Lucas was hired to replace E.L.M. Patrin as editor of Détervilles Nouveau Dictionnaire de Historie Naturelle (36 vols., Paris, 1816—9). In this capacity, Lucas performed the job with skill, correcting many of his predecessors errors, and proving himself a very able naturalist. He became interested in the study of Italian volcanoes, particularly those near Naples and on the Island of Sicily. He published first hand accounts of the eruptions of Mt. jEtna and Vesuvius.

PLATES: The frontispiece consists of one of two portraits of Haüy. The more common impression consisting of an oval rendering within a rectangular frame showing the upper torso of Haüy facing left and holding a contact goniometer upon a rhombohedron of Iceland spar. A description contained within a rectangular frame immediately under the portrait reads, "René Just Haüy, | de la Légio d'Honneur et de l'Institut National; | Professeur de Minéralogie au Muséum d'Histoire naturelle. | Né à St. Just; en Picardie, le 28 Février 1743." The plate is signed "Traduit du dessin de F. Massard, par R. LElenor. 1804." In the lower margin of the plate is the text, "Ou savant Auteur des Traités de Physique et de Minéralogie, | J.A.H. Lucassen Elect." In some volumes, a more uncommon frontispiece occurs. This impression shows the head and shoulders of René Just Haüy together with those of his brother, Valentine [17451822]. Valentine is in front of his brother. No description of the subjects appears on the plate, but the style suggests this portrait to be the work of Ambroise Tardieu [17881841]. The folding plate ... VERY SCARCE. First issue of a major work that appeared in support of Haüy's theories. The publication in 1801 of Haüy's landmark Traite de Mineralogie (4 vols., Paris, 1801) created a tremendous dialog within mineralogical science. Some believed wholeheartedly in Haüys theories and proposals, while others supported views, most prominently the German school based on Werner's ideas. For the most part Lucas successfully attempts in the first part of this work to support Haüy and counter the resistance to his theories. At the same time, he also provides the reader with what is essentially an abridgment of Haüys master work. After the introduction, Lucas gives a short exposition of Haüy's methods, and an outline of the mineralogical characteristics, principal components and the method of distributing minerals within the classification extracted and condensed directly from Haüys work. Lucas then provides a synopsis of the minerals distributed into classes, orders, families and species. The text continues with a more detailed description of the minerals, properties and system of classification. At the end of the volume is a table listing the crystallization forms of each mineral species, "corrected and augmented with new observations." It required seven years for Lucas to complete and publish the second part of the Tabieau Méthodique. Part of the delay was surely due to the chaotic state of mineralogical science during this period. This was the time when new discoveries were routinely being made because of advances in crystallography with the reflecting goniometer and the improvements in chemical analysis and atomic theory. Haüy had published the Tabieau Comparatif (Paris, 1809) in an attempt to support his original theories and provide a more recent listing of mineral species according to his classification system. Lucas begins the second part with a general description of the collection of minerals in the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. He then provides a synopsis of the distribution of minerals adopted from Haüy's 1809 work. A discussion and description of the minerals that aggregate into products of volcanoes is presented. This is followed by several lists that translate the mineral species names from French into German, Italian, Spanish, English, and Latin. For this purpose, Lucas had gathered help from the Italian author Giuseppe Poggi [1761—1841] and an Englishman by the name of Russell. The text then provides detailed descriptions of the mineral species, some not published before, and there placement with in the Haüyian classification. At the volumes conclusion is a table providing descriptions of various mountain rocks. This is an augmented abridgment of Matteo Tondi's [1762—1835] Tabieau Synoptique d'Oréognosie ou Connaissance des Montagnes ou Roches (Paris, 1811).

Apparently, two variant issues of the first volume of 1806 appear to exist. The issues differ from each other by a substantial change in the wording of the title page, together with smaller changes in the beginning text. There is no evidence to suggest if these two issues were published simultaneously or at different times. A search of various bibliographies suggests that the publishing firm of Levrault, Schcell et Cie. ceased to exist around 1806, perhaps due to the death of Schcell. If this is the case, an argument could be made that the publishing house of Hautel bought out the business including the remaining unsold and unbound stock of the first part of the Tableau Méthodique. A new title page was created with the imprint of Hautel, and subsequently added to volumes creating the variant, perhaps later issue. The text of the volume remains substantially unchanged. As stated earlier, no evidence has been uncovered to suggest which issue if either is first; however, on the whim of this bibliographer, the copies with the second title page are considered the second issue. 3168.

"We have no hesitation in placing this comprehensive Manual before the mining community and public generally. The extensive practical experience of the author throughout the Australasian gold and silver fields, as well as his recognition by the highest English scientific authorities, gives warranty to the deductions he has arrived at with regard to the gold fields of the Australian colonies. The unique and graphic description of the why and wherefore many mines have failed to pay is in itself a useful and instructive work to intending investors in gold mining ventures; whilst to the practical miner, every care has been taken to afford concise information of a nature that will be appreciated, whether it be mining manager, prospector, or ordinary miner." — Preface.

This guide to the mineral collections in the Kelvingrove Museum Glasgow, Scotland was written to also serve as an introductory text to the study of mineralogy. The text first illustrates broad principals of the science, then it uses a systematic arrangement of the collection to reinforce those principals. A student using this guide to view the Museum's collection can move case to case and examine specimen properties such as crystal form, chemical composition, physical and optical properties. Then the student can progress to the systematic collection and work from elements to complex oxides, pseudomorphs, and precious stones. A concluding section gives a history of the collection. A map on page 7 shows the arrangement of the cases. 2nd edition, 1921: Introduction to the Study of Minerals and Guide to the Mineral Collections in the Kelvingrove Museum Glasgow. By Macnair Peter.

(BORN: Santiago de Compostela, Spain, cl820; DIED: 1874) Spanish mining engineer & science historian. Rúa Figueroa's brother Jose, doctor and journalist, was outstanding member of the liberal fight, ideology that had to share Ramon Rúa with greater moderation. Engineer of mines, their writings have importance by the critical information that they contain as far as the procedures of mining operation in many Spanish deposits, to which are united proposals for the improvement. In its publications official protectionism occurs to enhancement to the economic aspects, in matters such as to determined industries, that it deplores; thus, several of their works can be inserted in the controversy around the convenience of which the State is or nonproprietor of the mining operations. Rúa is opposite all state interventionism and attributes to this situation the pos-tración that the extractive industries undergo. In collaboration with Eugene Maffei (v.), she was Rúa author of the work the Hispanic and Latin American mining, reviewed in the mentioned voice, fundamental repertoire for the historical investigation in the matter and other relatives by marriage.

[vol 2] 8°: [2], [1]-231, [5] p. Rare. Posthumously published, this remarkable and evolutionary treatise was treated with skepticism by contemporary researchers, although its theories have largely been shown correct. Even when it was published, the controversy the ideas it contained were enough for the publisher to disguise the author's true name by encrypting it to read "Tallimed" (the reverse of Malliet). By using the device of an imaginary voyage to India by a French missionary, and by presenting the work's philosophy as the beliefs of an Indian mystic, Maillet sought to make palatable his pre-Darwinian theories of evolution. Malliet denied that God was not an omniscient overseer, states that the earth is more than two billion years in age, and believed in the possibility that life in the sea could be transformed into life on the land. He further concludes that such transformations happened not only in the distant past but is continuing to the present time. The work was not published until ten years after de Maillet 's death, and even then reluctantly, by his friend the Abu Le Mareia, who was also responsible for the work's dedication to Cyrano de Bergerac. Even though it was a posthumous publication, Le Mascrier still found it easier to attribute the work to an Indian philosopher by the name of Telliamed rather than give Malliet as the actual author, perhaps in an attempt to avoid controversy. It is thought that Diderot was heavily influenced by this work in his shift from deism to atheism, and Sabin comments that it was 'long supposed to have suggested to Mr. Darwin his celebrated theory'.

This catalog, attributed to C.G. Malacarne by Partsch, describes a mineral collection purchased by the Italian goverment from the Freiberg Berakademie. It was intented that this acqusition would be used to instruct students in mineralogy, and this book is in part a product of that goal. The volume begins with a long introduction describing the criteria used to identify various species and stressing the importance of chemistry and crystal structure in mineral determination. A review of the classification systems of Werner and Haiiy is then given, after which the catalog is presented. It is arranged according to the second mineralogical system of Abraham GOTTLOB WERNER, as outlined in Beschreibung einer auserlesenen Mineraliensammlung (Dresden, 1807). Each of the 462 mineral specimens listed is carefully portrayed with references to synonyms, localities, physical and chemical qualities and crystallography. Indexes listing mineralogical synonyms and an alphabetical list of the described minerals conclude the work.

Rare. In his Traité de Cristallographie Mallard presents the subject with clarity, and describes the geometrical and physical properties of crystals and proposes a classification system. Taking as his starting point the researches of AUGUSTE BRAVAIS, Mallard studied those crystals that appeared to have greater symmetry than their optical properties would indicate and which the important new polarizing microscope showed the importance of twinning in these "crystalline edifices." He introduced the concept of a pseudosymmetry as an explanation of such crystals. He summarized his ideas in the Traité de Cristallographie that began to appear in 1879. The first volume described geometrical crystallography, lattice theory, and crystal morphology. In 1884 the second volume was published and it described crystal physics. In this work, for the first time, the difficult mathematical concepts introduced by Bravais to lattice theory were reduced to a comfortable and understandable clarity for nonspecialists. Unfortunately, a planned third volume that was to cover isomorphism, polymorphism, twinning, pseudosymmetry, and crystal growth, was never completed, although individual articles especially with respect to twins were published separately. In all his work, Mallard developed and extended Bravais' lattice theory, especially with respect to the importance of crystal faces and twins.

In it Malus mathematically describes his discovery of polarization by reflexion, which was a significant event in discovering the optical properties of crystal substances. First edition of this important memoir which contains the author's discovery of polarization of light by reflection. On 4 January 1808, the French Institute "proposed a prize which required an experimental and theoretical explanation of double refraction. The French 'Newtonian' scientists hoped that Malus would find a precise and general law for double refraction THÉORIE LA DOUBLE RÉFRACTION DE LA LUMIÈRE DANS LES SUBSTANCES CRISTALLISÉES, Mémoire couronné par l'Institut, dans la séance publique du 2 janvier 1810, PAR E. L. MALUS, PARIS. GARNERY, LIBRAIRE, RUE DE SEINE, HOTEL MIRABEAU. BAUDOUIN , IMPRIMEUR DE L'INSTITUT DE FRANCE. Théorie, 1810 within the framework of an emission theory of light. Malus was a skilled mathematician and during 1807 he had carried out experiments on double refraction. By December 1808 Malus had finished his experimental investigations, which verified the Huygenian law. What remained was a theoretical deduction of the law. In January 1809, Laplace published a memoir in which he deduced Huygens' law within the framework of Newtonian mechanics, using the principle of least action, and Malus considered this an insolence which deprived him of the priority. In 1810 Malus won the prize for his 'Théorie de la double réfraction,' published in 1811 [sic]. Here he deduced the law following the same method as Laplace, by means of the principle of least action. Malus won the prize therefore mainly because of his original experimental researches and his discussion of the short-range forces that produce double refraction. Also of great importance was his law for the relative intensities of the ordinary and extraordinary rays."D.S.B., IX, p. 73.

(Born: c1300; Died: 1372) Dutch explorer & author. Mandeville, which was probably a pseudonym, was the author of the book generally known as Travels of Sir John Mandeville, written in Norrnan French between 1357 and 1371. Virtually nothing is known of Mandeville. Much of the book was borrowed from narratives written by several world travelers and compiled into an entertaining first- person narrative, a compendium of medieval knowledge and speculation concerning such places as Jerusalem, India, and China.

Attributed to Mandeville this lapidary written in the French language first appeared in manuscripts that date from the middle 14th century. Pannier (1882) describes and compares several such manuscripts that had come under his inspection, and concludes that the text was probably not an authentic work of Mandeville. Instead, Pannier believes it to be the work of an unnamed jeweler. The text describes the most important precious stones and many others of a fantastic nature. It begins by coping from Mar.BODE, the leading lapidary of the period, descriptions of about two dozen stones. Then 'с&ы Le lapidaire en francoys, c1495 are given descriptions of other stones and minerals both imaginary and real including pumice, mica, alabaster, and lapis lazuli. Stones formed in the human body or the bodies of animals are very prominent, as these bezoar and eaglestones were believed to bestow on their owner marvelous or supernatural power. Due to the extreme rarity of all of the early editions the printing history of this work is a difficult bibliographical problem. The widely unknown incunabula edition described above was first noticed and examined in detail by David J. Shaw, whose information is copied (person communication). This is most probably the first printing of Mandeville's Lapidaire, although Klebs (1938) who copies Claudin (1900) briefly describes a tantalizing Lapidaire written in French and published at Lyon in 1477 that is perhaps a still earlier printing. The difficult to read manuscript description of this 1477 book published in Pellechet (1970) does not mention Mandeville's name, but the work deserves closer examination.

In addition to the translation of Mandeville, this reference also includes the gemological characteristics of each stone and hundreds of quotations regarding precious stones from classic pieces of literature.

Edited by Alaard (of Amsterdam) [see note below] and published by Hero Fuchs [=Alopecius]. Alaard had a much more complete and correct manuscript that did Pictorius so that this edition contains 100 more verses of the original poem. He also added the variants of the text, extracts from the works of Plinius, Dioscorides, Galen, Philo, Hegesippus, Orígenes, St. Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, Chrysostomos, Marsilio Ficino, Ermolao Bárbaro, as well as Pictorius' annotations and his own scholia, which he titled "Praecipuas Gemmarum Lapidumque Pretiosorm Explicationes." Beginning on folio 76, in the section titled, "Marbodaei sive potius incerti auctoris versus aliquot hactenus desiderati," Alaard has included 93 other verses describing 16 precious stones not included in the original poem of Marbodaeus. These describe: capnites, ophthalmius, obsianus, ignites, diadochos, exebenus, lingurus, daphnius, mennonius, galactites, odontes, lapis qui fronte nascitur asini, trisutes, phrygius, sarcophagus, and specularis lapis. These verses have been included (with his variants of reading) in several subsequent editions of the work. His dedictatory letter and his preface to the reader were reprinted in the critical edition of Marbodus edited by Beckmann (Göttingen, 1799; see entry below), where his variants and some of his annotations are also to be found. Alaard dedicated this edition to Georg of Egmont (=Haecmondensis), Bishop of Utrecht [d. 1559], to whom he gladly offers this work of Marbodus, which he calls "octavum orbis miraculurn." Alaard of Amsterdam. (BORN: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1491; DIED: Louvain, France, 1544) Dutch theologian & poet. Alaard first studied at Köln, later at Louvain, where he was interested in theology, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. In 1520, he became an instructor at Louvain, where he held lectures on the grammer of Erasmus. Most of his many writings are theological in nature, but he was also the editor, commentator and translator of works by Baerland, Budé, Hippocrates, Huisman (Agrícola), Marbode, and Theophylactos, and thus played an important role in the scientific literature of the 16th century.

Marcellini describes the mineralogical world with considerable attention to the chemical composition of the species. According to the preface, the author's interest in the subject began in 1785 with the opening of a new pyrite mine near Fabriano that produced a great variety of minerals. He built a fine collection of these specimens and other geological and palaenotological samples from localities scattered across Italy and Europe that formed the basis of his Trattato.

This is the first appearance of an early, important study on the manufacturing of pigments and paints with the express aim of helping the reader to understand the colors used by the great painters of the Renaissance and 17th century. Since many of these pigments were based on the mixing of crushed minerals with some type of binder, this work has a peripheral interest in the science of mineralogy. It is the earliest analysis of plant-, mineral- and animal based pigments used in the paintings of the Renaissance masters and later artists. The various varnishes used are also discussed, as are the many sizing, and binding agents used. This work is expressly aimed at the professional picture restorer, with particular emphasis on the paints and working methods of Fra Bartolomeo, Raphael, Titian, Paolo Veronese, and Rubens. In 1816, the more common second edition was published, and in 1833 a third edition appeared. Pietro Palmaroli. (BORN: 1778; DIED: 1828) Italian art expert. Palmaroli was the leading picture restorer of his time and the inventor of 'rimozione a stacco', or the technique of removing a fresco from a wall without damaging either the fresco or the wall. In 1823, Palmaoli was called to Dresden and appointed chief restorer of the picture collection there.

This is the only and unfinished edition of an ambitious project that ultimately bankrupted the author. Prepared in collaboration with Louis Jacques Goussier [see note below], it includes 20 partly hand- colored plates in folio that includes very good renderings of a microscope, a camera obscura, a telescope, and astronomical systems. The work's scope was to provide a description and general theory of physical geography by developing the theory from principals of celestial physics. Thus in this cosmogony Marivetz would attempt to explain the earth's and particularly France's geography and physical history and attempt through the framework of their theory to forecast future events. Hoefer calls the work very rare because the unsold copies were confiscated during the Revolution and destroyed after Marivetz's execution. The work was never completed and ended with the publication of the second part of volume five. Volume contents: Tome Premier, Polemique, les cosmogenies et systèmes de ¡a terre.

Marsili MARSIGLI (Marsili), Luigi Ferdinando, Conte. (BORN: Bologna, Italy, 20 July 1658; DIED: Bologna, Italy, 1 January 1730) Italian aristrocrat & naturalist. Marsigli was born to a noble family of Bologna. He did not complete his formal schooling, but he accumulated a vast knowledge of history, politics, geography, and the natural sciences. He undertook the exploration of two basic subjects: the structure of mountains and the natural condition of the sea, lakes, and rivers. He left many local observations concerning the structure of mountains. In 1724 he published the first treatise on oceanography, Histoire physique de ¡a mer. In it he examined every aspect of the subject, including the physical (or geological) formation of basins and the plants and fish that lived in the sea. He founded the Accademia delle scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna in 1712. He served in the army of Emperor Leopold I, partly as an engineer, from 1682 to 1704, and attained high rank. He was used by the Emperor on diplomatic missions to the Pope and in peace negotiations with the Turks. This employment ended in dishonor when Marsili was involved in the surrender of Breisach. In 1708, when imperial troops threatened the Papal States during the War of the Spanish Succession, Marsili headed the Papal army. And later, about 1715, he inspected the defenses of the Papal States against possible Turkish raids on the Adriatic coast. He spent considerable time during his retirement along the French coast near Marseilles. Much of his study of the sea stems from these stays. Marsili participated in the Accademia degli Inquieti in Bologna. In 1702 he built an observatory in his palace. He collected a museum. In 1712 he founded the Academia delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna, which under his influence, immediately became an active center of scientific research, consisting mainly of natural history exploration of the area around Bologna. The Institute absorbed in Accademia degli Inquieti. In founding the Institute, Marsili gave it his collection and gave his house to the city for the Institute. In 1715, a member of the Académie Royale des Sciences, replacing Viviani. He was a member also of the Académie Royale des Sciences of Montpellier. He went to London in 1722 to be made a member of the Royal Society. Newton insisted on presenting hirn personally and praised him as both an already famous scientist and a founder of the new Academy of Bologna. He produced a mineralogical map of the Danube basin, showing mining sites with some geology.

The second paper in Italian describing the famous Bolognian stone (phosphorescent barite) was Marsigli's Del Fosforo Minerale that contained illustrations of the subject. Originally Marsigli had intended to publish the booklet as a present for ROBERT BOYLE but had set it aside in 1691 after Boyle's death. The text was abstracted in the Philosophical Transactions of 1698 (see: 20, 306). The author was dissatisfied with the current explanation of the light emission and thinks the stone is reflecting more light than it is transmitting. He also preformed chemical analysis of the stone which he regarded as a type of talc and found that it contained sulfur and what he thought was mercury. References: BL: [B.396.(6.)].

Marsigli's most ambitous of literary projects was proposed in 1700 in the Danudialis Operis Prodromus. Copies began to circulate in 1701, when readers everywhere could see for themselves what Marsigli had visualised. A dedication to the Fellows of the Royal Society of London which expressed his gratitude, begging for advice and corrections as well as encouragement, with an admission that he would be dedicating to Emperor Leopold the six volumes whose contents were described in the following pages. There was also inserted a specimen page showing the title of the work to be presented to Leopold, with Comit. Marsigli Danvbialis Operis prodromes. Regiam Societatem Prodromus, 1700 its lines printed alternately in red and black ink, and using no less than ten different type faces. In Marsigli's judgment, as in that of many contemporaries, great works offered to great men required this sort of ornament. Meanwhile more remained to be done to complete the definitive manuscript volumes and arrange for their publication. Fortunately everything seemed well in hand at a moment when Marsigli came nearest to what he wanted most, an elevated role in political affairs. Events conspired however, to cause the final work to be delayed for a quarter of a century.

Rare. An early and lavishly illustrated basic work on the natural history of the Danube river. Marsigli describes the natural history, antiquity, geography, the flora and fauna, mineralogy and geology of the Danube region between Vienna and the confluence of the river Jantra in Bulgaria. The first volume concerns geography, hydrography and astronomy. The second which describes the Roman and other ancient monuments in fact marks the beginning of the scientific archaeological studies in Bulgaria. The third part describes mining, fossils and minerals. This volume is divided into eight sections describing alluvium and stones of the Danube, metal deposits, various mines, structure of mountains, fossils and types of gypsum, gold, silver, copper, iron, antimony, mercury and the formation of metals. Volume four describes fish and other aquatic species of the river, and volume five the birds of the region. The final volume provides miscellaneous observations not covered in the previous volumes on the insects, plants, birds and animals. The maps were engraved after J. C. Müller by G. C. Eimmart and Chr. Fleischmann. The riverbed between the Kalenberg near Vienna and the Jantra confluence in Bugaria is mapped on eighteen sheets. This work was begun as early as 1703 and many of the engravings were executed about the same time in Bologna, the author's home town. The plates are of outstanding quality and include illustratations of mining by F.M. Francis and a fine series of birds by R. Manzini with the first published illustrations of nests and eggs. This edition, printed for subsribers only, consists of a press run of only 350 copies. Facsimile reprint, 2004: Danubius Pannonico-AIysicus (1726). Tomus I.

The Compilers of dictionaries had two large banks from which to rob: Linnaeus' Systema Naturas and Button's Histoire Naturelle. They would abstract and arrange the contents of these works alphabetically. As a result the reader got Linnaeus' exactness and Buffon's fine writing in both science and literature. Creation of such dictionaries reached it zenith with the extravagant works of Houttyun's Natuurkyke Historie of Uitvoerige Beschryving der Dieren, Planten en Mineralen, published in thirty-seven volumes (1761-85), and Valmont de Bomare's Dictionaire Raisoné Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, that appeared in at least five editions, and Danish, Dutch, Italian and Russian translations. There was also Martini's Allgemeine Geschichte der Natur in alfabetischer Ordnung (1774), which ambitiously built on Bomare's Dictionaire and invited its readers to participate in making anew edition by filling out pages left blank for the purpose. The new edition would not be complete, extending into the letter "C" in 11 volumes. In natural history, Martini said, "complete is a harmonious sound without meaning." 1012 Mineralogy So Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft.

Allgemeine Geschichte der Natur or "The General History of Nature" by Friedrich Heinrich Martini and J. Krunitz is one of a number of large, comprehensive dictionaries of nature that were published during the 18th century. Written in the style of the French dictionaries like Valmont de Bomare's, this work of natural history and botany covers animals, entomology, plants, geology, minerals, fossils, and more, with many of the illustrative plates designed by the distinguished artists of the age like Seligmann, Maria Sibylla Merian, Edwards, Catesby, Knorr, Roesel, Martini, etc. These plates were mostly engraved by J. Schmidt in Berlin. Unlike many of the contemporary French works, however, this book is alphabetical in its treatment of the subject. Apparently it was not a profitable venture either, and was never completed, with the 11 volumes that appeared extending only from the letter A through entries beginning with 'Cog'.

Second edition of this famous collection of mining sermons by Luther's first biographer. This collection of 16 of the author's sermons on mining topics, ranging in theme from the history and mechanics of mining to the various metals, minerals, and precious stones (gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, bismuth, boron, alum, saltpeter, etc.) that are mined to various smelting processes (including that of the Old Testament miner Malachi in Jeremiah). Other subjects include the proper amount of precious metal to share with God, the making of coins and glass, the role of the father in the family household, the Phillipian miners in ancient Greece, Saint Paul's Kpistles to the Phillipians, and the uses of various metals for religious purposes. In each chapter, Mathesius takes great pains to explain the relationship between the material discussed and God, the church, etc. After the sermons, there are four additional chapters. Two of these are devoted to Protestant miner's hymns and include fine examples of printed music, along with complete lyrics and notes. Another is a commentary on the 133rd psalm. There are three extensive printed tables. The first presents a chronicle of Joachimsthal from 1516 to 1563 and includes blank forms for the following 16 years. The other two provide information on production of the local mines in weight and in value. Also included is a list of the biblical passages referenced throughout the text, in biblical order, with page references for this text. Some scholars have argued that the second sermon contains the first appearance in print of the famous German proverb, "Der apffel felt nicht weyt vom bäum/ vnnd das kalb gereth gewonigklich nach der kue" (The apple does not fall far from the tree/ and the calf usually resembles the cow), found on the thirteenth leaf. The title word, Sarepta, refers to a biblical mining town in Lebanon, the subject of the first chapter.

(BORN: Derbyshire, England, 1764; DIED: London, England, 26 October 1829) English mining engineer, mineral dealer & mineralogist. Mawe spent his early life at sea as a merchant marine, but gave the life up and began dealing in minerals. Mawe was commissioned to collect British minerals for the King of Portugal. At the invitation of the King he made an extensive tour of Brazil, but was for a short time imprisioned at Montevideo. After his death, his mineral business and stock were acquired by JAMES Tennant. He was a member of the Geological Society of London and the Mineralogical Society of Jena.

Other plates show the washing of gold, atopezmine, machines used in mining, the appearance of goldor diamond-bearing ore, the crystalline structure of diamonds, topaz and tourmaline, and Brazilian shells. The author also included a map of his route from Rio de Janeiro to Canto-Gallo, Villa-Rica, and Tejuco. Borba mentions that the view of the mining camp at Jaragua is the first landscape known to show the interior of Sao Paulo. Mawe seems to have spent many of his early years at sea. In the late 18th c. he collected minerals in England for the King of Spain. When war broke out between England and Spain in 1804, he was detained at Cadiz and then again at Montevideo. He was only released after Beresford captured Montevideo, and soon afterward began his journey to Rio de Janeiro and then into Minas Geraes. After his return to England in 1811, he opened a shop in the Strand and wrote books on mineralogy.

The two engraved plates show Primitive Rocks (p. 41) and Portable Lapidaries' Apparatus (p. 73). Rare. An introductory work for used by the beginning mineralogist to explain terms and introduce concepts of mineralogy. Mawe first published this very popular work in 1819, and continued to revise and reissue it through 1830 and twelve editions. The basic format of the work changed little over the period, however. It is a wonderful work, written from the viewpoint of practical experience, and includes basic observations on minerals, gems, geology and the lapidary craft. The colored plate of minerals shows 22 finely executed renderings of various mineral species. The text was only marginally changed through the subsequent editions [which see below].

A series of tables (pp. 88-261) group the mineral species by hardness on Mohs scale and provide information on physical properties, crystal morphology, and chemical properties for each species listed.

Apparantly the sole edition published of an interesting work on natural philosophy by Benedetto Mazzota, professor of theology at the University of Bologna and member of the Benedictine Order. The first part contains a survey of meteorology 1024 Mineralogy So Crystallography: A Biobibliography Sz History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Mead as it was known at the time of the writer, with particular attention being given to comets and meteors. The second part contains a description of minerals and metals (pp. 153-208) and is partly alchemical while the last portion deals with astrology. Mazzotta still belonged to the Old School of Bologna scientists, speculating on the powers of the elements, the planets and precious stones, and believing that the earth remained immobile at the centre of the universe "against what Copernicus said and the Church condemned." The work beautifully illustrates scientific knowledge at the threshold of modern science, which would increasingly be based on experiments rather than on philosophic speculation. Mazzotta defended fire as an element, and although in this connection he held that comets could well pass through the sphere of fire and be elevated above the moon, he still regarded them as terrestrial exhalations and held elsewhere that many of them remained below the moon. He opposed those who contended that heat and cold were not distinct qualities. He admitted that earth and water formed a single globe, but affirmed that "no fixed truth" had yet been reached with regard to the tides, although he inclined to ascribe them to the moon with the concurrence of the sun and stars. Earlier however, he had stated that the flux and reflux was also caused by angelic movers of water. Although a theologian, he continued the favourable attitude towards astrology which had so long prevailed in Bologna. He urged his readers to pay careful attention to the annual prognostications, given by Ovidius Montelbanus, Gassius, Grimaldi, and others, and he still believed that through centuries past the stars had produced memorable changes in the air and the world. He sees eclipses, conjunctions and comets as divine oracles. He grants there are popular impostors in astrology, but astrological philosophy is treated at length, with chapters on all points to be considered before making a prediction. Comets especially are seen as signs of great events, and the author makes a prognostication for 1652-1653 based on the comet seen from December 17, 1652 to January 12, 1653. And at the end he gives forty general astrological aphorisms. The work seems to have escaped the attention of both alchemist and scientist, historians and collectors, probably because it was only published once, closing the alchemist era, and half-heartedly entering modern science. Bartolomeo Coriolano. (BORN: 1599; DIED: 1676) Italian artist & engraver. Of special interest are the engraved plates by Bartolomeo Coriolano (1599-1676), a pupil of his father Giovanni Battista Coriolano, who died in 1649, and of Guido Reni. He was especially gifted as draughtsman and engraver.

In the text, Mentzel compares the luminescence properties of the naturally occurring Bologna Stone (phosphorescent barite) and a newly discovered preparation called Baldewinian Phosphor. He notes that the compound more easily absorbs light and emits at a stronger intensity than the natural stone. However, the theoretical reasons behind these observations are disguised in the language of alchemy with no rational reason provided. Gatterer says this work was reprinted in Ephem. Nat.

A landmark treatise in the history of mineralogy and metallurgy describing what was among the first organized mineralogical museums ever established. Noteworthy for excellence of style and clarity, Aletallotheca is considerably more that a treatise on minerals and metals. It provided a uniform generic classification for all the known minerals and fossils. It also introduced a "remarkable discourse on the variations of the surface and subsurface of the earth caused by long epochs of geological evolution." Although written in the 16th century the work was only printed for the first time under the editorship of the great physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi [1654—1720]. The volume is splendidly produced and illustrated, with many examples of earths, slates, alums, sulphur, bitumen, coral, etc., and, in the section on marbles several remarkable plates of famous statues such as Laocoon and the Apollo Belvedere. In the service of the Popes, Mercati began to accumulate in a wing of the Museum Pio-Clernentino, a collection of rocks, minerals and fossils that he called the METALLOTHECA (a complement to the Bibliotheca, or library). It was certainly one of the most important such collections assembled during the 16th century. Its contents were systematically arranged in 19 large, 1034 Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography Sc History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ — Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 M ERC ATI expensive, custom built cabinets. From the beginning, Mercati worked diligently on describing the specimens, but at his death only about half of the cabinets were completed. The task then fell onto his former teacher, Andreas Cesalpino, who wrote De Metallicis (1st ed., Rornae, 1596), without any of Mercati's notes. In fact, for years after Mercati's death, the manuscript and 127 copper plate engravings remained unknown and unpublished. Then they were rediscovered by the Florentine humanist Carlo Roberto Dati [1619—1676]. He attempted to have Mercati's work published, but failed in the attempt. However, he let some among his scientist friends examine Mercati's manuscript. In this way, the Metallotheca became known to NlCOLAUS Steno and Paolo Boccone. In fact, Steno borrows the beautiful engraving of a shark's head (Caput lami') which he published in his own Elementorvm Myologies Specimen (Florentiae, 1667), quoting the source. After Dati's death, his heirs gave the Mercati manuscript material to Pope Clementi XI, who commissioned the great physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi to bring the work to publication. In this effort he was assisted by Petrus Assalti who edited the notes. The work appeared in 1717, and is almost all that remains of Mercati's wonderful collection, which was stolen or lost shortly after Mercati's death. The copper plate engravings were executed by the Dutch goldsmith, engraver and painter Anton Eisenhoit [fl. 1570-1619] between 1572 and 1581. These remarkable illustrations make this work one of the most precious publications of the Renaissance in terms of iconography. For the text, Mercati relied principally upon the earlier works of Theophrastus, Pliny, Albertus Magnus, and Agrícola. He also incorporated many notes from about a hundred of less important writers, encyclopediaists, geographer's, etc. Interestingly, Mercati provides direct observations to places he had visited including Pozzuoli, Tolfa, the Tuscany hills, and Ischia and Elba islands. But to theoretical ideas, he confines himself to Aristotelian beliefs that fossils had been created in rocks by heavenly influences of the stars in the outer spheres. Reasons as to why mountains, valleys and volcanoes exist are completely ignored. The principal material of the text is the detailed description of specimens contained in ten show cases, which represent approximately half of the total collection. These contain respectively, (1) earths, including shales, terra rosas, kaolin earths, sands, (2) salts, including sodium &¿ potassium chloride, saltpetre, (3) acrid juices, including vitriol, borax, malachite, azurite, realgar, (4) fat juices, including sulphur, hydrocarbons, coals, amber (5) alums, including selenite and various alums, (6) marine products, including sponges, corals, gasteropods, (7) rocks similar to earths (soft stones), including pyrolusite, volcanic tuffs, muscovite, gypsum, pumice, (8) stones derived from animals, including bezoar, deer tear, pearls, (9) idiomorphic stones, including echinoid spines, entrochi, staurolite, stalactitie concretions, géodes, dendrites, belemnites, ammonites, fossil bones and teeth (10) marbles, giving few examples. In the Appendix issued in 1719, there are information about Mercati's other works concerning plague and the obelisks of Rome as well as text about the lives of Lancisi and Assalti. If Mercati's Metallotheca Vaticana had been published at the end of the 16th century, he surely would be ranked with GEORGIUS AGRÍCOLA and CONRAD Gesner as a founder of mineralogy and paleontology. However, when the work was finally published, its measure had been surpassed by over a century of progress. Consequently, the contemporary reviews of the time do not pass kindly on the work. This first issue is distinguished by having the date of 1717 on the title page and not 1719. The BMC points out that a new title page dated 1719 for the whole work was issued in the Appendix. This title was intended to replace the orignal title page dated 1717. Such a copy of the Appendix with the extra title page is held in the special collections area of the University of Arizona Library. Based on this evidence, there are no grounds for supposing that there are two editions of the the main work, one of 1717, the other of 1719. The Appendix is described below. Sebastian Conca.

This is the independent issue of the Appendix published in 1719 for purchasers of the 1717 edition. The BMC points out that a new title page dated 1719 for the Metallotheca was issued in the Appendix. This title was intended to replace the orignal title page dated 1717. Such a copy of the Appendix with the extra title page is held in the special collections area of the University of Arizona Library. Based on this evidence, there are no grounds for supposing that there are two editions of the the main work, one of 1717, the other of 1719.

The sheets of this first edition were destroyed in the great fire of London in 1666. Only a few copies survived are now considered very rare. Most copies are therefore dated 1667. This is the earliest attempt at a classification of the plants, animals, and minerals of England. The botanical portion contains over 1,400 species. This work contains mainly lists of names and enumeration of species. An alphabetical list of English plants with citations to other authorities is given on pages 1-127. A classification of plants ("De Planatarum Classibus") is provided on pages 128-138, while the pages to 154 give a glossary of equivalence between common plant names and their Latin nomenclature.

Merrill's opening chapters deal with the Maclurean Era, 1785-1819, so named from William Maclure who, in 1809, issued his epoch-making Observations on the Geology of the United States. The Eatonian Era, 1820-1829, followed with Amos Eaton, author of the geological text-book, as its chief figure. Then came the era of the State survey, extending from 1830 to 1880, to be succeeded in turn by the era of national surveys reaching to the early 20th century. In the course of the text, mention is made of several hundred contributors to the development of geology in the United States, often with accounts of their opinions, quotations from their writings and sketches of their lives. Many portraits of these researchers are included. An extensive index at the end facilitates the use of the work. REFERENCES: Booic Review Digest: (1924), p. 398. • NUC. METZGER, Hélène. (BORN: Chatou, near Paris, France, 1889; DIED: In transit to Auschwitz, Poland, 1944) French science historian. Metzger [maiden name Brühl] showed outstanding early promise and studied mineralogy at the Sorbonne, receiving her Diploma d'études supérieures in physics for her Etude cristallographique du chlorate de lithium. In 1913 she married Paul Metzger, a professor of history and geography, but in September 1914 he was reported missing in one of the first battles of World War I; from then on she devoted herself to research. Her doctoral thesis showed the evolution of crystallography (La genese de la science des cristaux) and she then applied her historical methods to the whole of chemistry. In 1925 she won the Prix Bordin in philosophy for Les concepts scientifiques and she continued to seek out the philosophical bases of science in later work. This was interrupted by the German occupation of Paris and she moved to Lyons and worked at the Bureau d'Etudes Israelites on a study of Jewish monotheism. She was arrested in February 1944, deported to Drancy, then sent to Auschwitz. REFERENCES: DSB: 9, 340-2. • ISIS. 1913-65: 2, 177. 3332. French, 1918.

This was a pioneer effort both in its subject and its approach. Essentially, it is a history of 18th century ideas, primarily French, on the nature, development and structure of crystals. The book is structured around the theme of the emergence of crystallography as a discrete and independent science in the work of Rome de l'Isle and, more particularly, Haiiy. Metzger sees a fundamental development in the works of these researchers from an emphasis on explaining crystal formation in terms of grand speculative systems, to a concern with the precise description of crystal structure. Metzger's approach is novel as well and demonstrates the historical sensitivity which marked her later studies in the history of chemistry.

He also acted for a time from 1880 as professor of natural history at the Ecole Normale. In 1892, he became head of the department in the Museum with the title of professor of geology, retiring in 1920 with the title of honorary professor. He was a prolific writer and editor of several popular magazines. His chemical research was based on the artificial production of minerals, which he extended to meteoric minerals and meteorites.

Edited by Johann Christoph Adelung [see note below], this "Mineralogical Amusements" is an early periodical devoted to mineralogical subjects. It was intended as a forum for the knowledgeable mineralogist and those that were interested in the subject. As such, the six volumes cover all aspects of mineralogical studies and include articles of amateur and scientific character, with papers authored by the great mineralogists of the day including Pott and Lehmann. Johann Christoph Adelung. (BORN: Spantekow, Pommern, Germany, 30 August 1734; DIED: Dresden, Germany, 10 September 1806) German lexicographer & philologist. Adelung studied originally for theology, but found he was more attracted to literature and philology. He became professor at the Erfurt Gymnasium and later head of the library at Dresden; wrote, Versuch eines vollständigen Grammatisch-Kritischen Wörterbuches der Hochdeutschen Mundart (Berlin, 1774), a dictionary of German that was compared favorably to the dicitonary of Dr. Johnson. However, "Adelung's is superior ... in its definitions, and in all that relates to etymology" (Thomas). REFEREN' 'ES: Allgemeine Deutsche Bibliothek. 8, по. 1, 285. • Alt. gel.

The Mineralogist's Monthly was Arthur Chamberlain's first venture into collector periodicals for American mineral collectors. Published for a number of years with one of Chamberlain's other collector serials, the Exchanger's Monthly which was folded into the Mineralogist's Monthly in November, 1890. In 1893 Chamberlain concluded an agreement with W.M. Goldwaite to merge with another collector's periodical Minerais: A Monthly Magazine, where Goldwaite would be the publisher and Chamberlain the editor [which see next entry]. However, Goldwaite pulled out of the venture in March 1893. This led Chamberlain to found the Minerai Collector [which see] . REFERENCES: USGS Library Catalog: ??,??. Minerals, 1892 MINERALS. 3366.

VERY SCARCE. The first number of Minerais was published in January, 1892. It was not a profitable enterprise for the publisher W.M. Goldwaite because the Mineralogist's Monthly was also being published at the time. Therefore, Arthur Chamberlain came to agreement with Mr. Goldwaite to merge in 1893; however, the publication was not profitable, and Minerais ceased publication in December, 1893. This lead Arthur Chamberlain to began publication in 1894 of the more famous periodical, The Mineral Collector. REFERENCES: USGS Library Catalog: ??,??. MINERALS AND METALS.

Mitscherlich was one of the most important scientists of his generation. He came from a pastor's family and studied medicine and Oriental languages receiving from the University of Giessen a Ph.D. in 1814. He studied and taught chemistry at the University of Göttingen. In 1822, at the age of 28, he became a member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences and a professor at the Friedrich- Wilhelm University in Berlin. He devoted the rest of his life to research in chemistry and mineralogy, and was very much part of the Prussian Establishment. He also became a protege of JÖNS JAKOB Berzelius and developed a deep friendship with him.

Compiled and edited by Alexander Mitscherlich [1836-1918], the author's son. Eilhard Mitscherlich is best known for his work in crystallography and chemistry. He discovered that substances with similar chemical compositions may have the same shape of crystal, showing that one element can sometimes substitute for another in the crystal lattice. This phenomenon, which was named isomorphism, was demonstrated by Mitscherlich with crystals of potassium arsenate and potassium phosphate and with some of the sulphates. He further noticed that sulphur forms either rhombic or monoclinic crystals and this led him to the discovery of dimorphism, the capacity of some elements to occur in two distinct forms. While visiting Paris in 1823/4 he and Fresnel discovered that the optical axes of a biaxial crystal change with a change in temperature. All these discoveries were announced to the scientific world through Mitsherlich's many articles in scientific journals. In the Gesammelte Schriftenthey have all been collected together, and with fine portrait of the author and Berzelius, they form an important monument to this remarkable scientist.

On the advice of the Irish geologist George Mitchell [ca. 1775-1803], Mohs was commissioned to prepare a systematic catalog of the important mineral collection formed by the wealthy Vienna amateur Jakob Friedrich van der Null [see note below]. It is likely that during the examination of the collection and the preparation of this work that Mohs first began to doubt Werner's mineralogical ideas. A chance meeting in 1810 gave Mohs an opportunity to convince Werner of deficiencies in his concepts. Werner remained steadfast, however, causing Mohs to pursue a course of study that would eventually set systematic mineralogy on a new foundation. Van der Null's collection was incorporated into the Imperial collections at Vienna in the 1820's. Second issue: Another, apparently rarer second issue exists which is indentical to the first issue except that the year on the title page reads "1805." Jakob Friedrich van der Null. (BORN: ; DIED: 1826?) Austrian mineral collector. Austrian mineral collector. Van der Null was a banker and businessman in Vienna. Through his resources, he built an exceptionally fine mineral collection. For a curator, he hired Mohs, who arranged the contents according to first Werner's then his own classification scheme. The collection begun in 1797 concentrated on hand-size specimens (2 to 4- inchs), and was considered within a few years to be not only the finest mineral collection in Vienna but all of Germany. This remarkable acheivernent was accomplished through the purchasing of no less than eleven important mineral collections before 1807. In 1827, the collection was purchased by the Royal Imperial mineral cabinet in Vienna.

The first volume of this work, centering on crystallography reached essentially the same conclusions as did Christian Samuel Weiss (although Mohs does not credit Weiss with the discovery, thus spawning a mutual dislike). Mohs extends, however, the four crystal systems proposed by Weiss, namely: rombohedral (hexagonal), pyramidal (tetragonal), prismatic (orthorhombic), and tessular (cubic), with the addition of two new systems whose crystallographic axes were not mutually perpendicular. These new crystal systems were later named the rnonoclinic and triclinic, and fully described by Karl Friedrich Naumann in 1824. The second volume of the Grundriss contains a systematic description of minerals, founded on a natural history method with classes, orders, genras, and species. The principal addition to the mineral descriptions not seen in previous authors is the explicit mention of the crystal system to which a given mineral belongs.

VERY SCARCE. Translation by WILLIAM HAIDINGER from Grundriß der Mineralogie (Dresden, 1822-24). Mohs reached essentially the same conclusions as CHRISTIAN SAMUEL WEISS did concerning crystallography. In 1819, Weiss had suggested that four crystal systems existed, namely: rombohedral (hexagonal), pyramidal (tetragonal), prismatic (orthorhombic), and tessular (cubic). In the 1822 volume of his Grundriß, Mohs suggested (ommitting any mention of Weiss' previous work) that six crystal systems existed. The four mentioned already, plus two whose crystal axes were not mutually perpendicular. These were described in full by KARL FRIEDRICH NAUMANN in 1824, and given the names rnonoclinic and triclinic. Until this very fine translation of the Grundriß appeared, Mohs mineralogical ideas were largely confined to Germany. However, the translator, Haidinger, was also a very competent mineralogist in his own right, and the augmentation he brought to his translation transformed the work into the standard mineralogical reference of the natural history method for the period 1825 to 1850. So successful was this work that JAMES DwiGHT Dana used it as a model for the first edition of his own System of Mineralog}' (1st ed., New Haven, 1837). Volume one consists of a general description of mineralogy, terminology, crystallography, properties, theory of the system, and nomenclature. Volume two contains general descriptions of the species. Volume three finishes of the species and gives an explanation to the plates, which mostly show crystals.

MONARDES MONARDES, Nicholas Baptist. (Born: Sevilla, Spain, cl493; DIED: Sevilla, Spain, 1588) Spanish- physician, naturalist & metallurgist. Monardes studied at the University of Alcalá, where he received the rank of bachelor in arts and philosophy (1530) and a bachelor of medicine (1533). He was influenced in his studies by Elio Antonio de Nebrija, a great humanist. In 1547, he became an instructor in medicine at the University of Seville, where he remained until his death at a very old age. Besides his expertise in medicine, he participated in mercantile companies, among which was the commerce of medices and the traffic of slaves.

The De simplicibus Medicamentis ex Occidentali India delatis, quorum in Medicina usus est, by Nicolò Monardo (Monardes), a Spanish physician, translated into Latin by Charles de lEcluse, is a small book of 88 pages with descriptions of plants and illustrations. Different species from the New World are presented in a highly descriptive manner, including American copal, cinchona, sarsaparilla, dragons blood, balsam, Brazilian bean and hot pepper. Also included are descriptions of some animals such as the armadillo and some mineral remedies such as the lapis sanguinalis and the lapis Caymanus. The first Italian edition of this classic work, preceded by Spanish editions printed in Seville in 1565, 1569, and 1574, and by several adaptations and condensations. According to Sabin and LeClerc, this first Italian edition, translated by Annibale Briganti, is very rare. Monardes' work, describing medicinal plants found in the New World, was among the first to describe tobacco, as well as more healthful plants found in the Americas. Its appeal was widespread. It may be better known to English readers by the title of its 1580 translation, JOYFULL NEWES OUT OF THE NEW FOUNDE WORLDE. Illustrated with handsome woodcuts of the plants. SABIN 49939.

In this work on physical crystallography, Moses writes: "I have attempted, in this book, to describe, simply and concisely, the methods and apparatus used in studying the physical characters of crystals, and to record and explain the observed phenomena without complex mathematical discussions. In the last chapter the graduate course in Physical Cyrstallography given in Columbia University has been outlined." — Preface. Under geometrical characters the volume covers geometric properties of crystals, spherical projection, the thirty-two classes of crystals, measurement of crystal angles, and crystal projection or drawing. In part II. optically isotropic, uniaxial, and biaxial crystals are discussed, as well as the determination of the optical characters of biaxial crystals. The final part describes the thermal, magnetic and electrical properties of crystals and concludes with a section on elastic and permanent deformation of crystals which includes the hardness of minerals.

It contains the earliest published account of natural history in America, and is particularly important for its descriptions of animals in North America, including Mexico, and the East Indies. Incorporated are accounts of many American plants, animals, and minerals including the best early descriptions of bison, birds of paradise and many types of snakes. The descriptions of minerals occurs in chapter XVI (pages 373—386), and includes precious stones, emerald, amber, sapphire, gold, carbuncle, various lead ores, silver, beryl, gypsum, marble, salt, coloring pigments and agents, fossils, etc. The marvelous woodcuts (54 of animals and 15 of plants) by Christoffel Jegher [see note below] vividly illustrate the text, and in several cases picture some species for the first time. Appended to the end are 2 additional treatises. The first describes the miraculous natural wonders of Europe and the second gives an account of the same phenomena in the Promised Land of the Hebrews. The descriptions of the American items appear to be based on FRANCISCO Hernandez's 16 volume manuscript in the Escorial library before it was destroyed by fire in 1671. Christoffel Jegher. (BORN: Antwerp, Belgium, 1590; DIED: 1652/3) German engraver. Wood engraver of German extraction. He attracted the attention of the Flemish painter Rubens, who employed him to execute several cuts of his own design.

The present work is Nöggerath's most important publication describing the mineralogy and geology of the mountains of the Rhineland and Westphalia and was the first and standard work on the subject. According to the first volume, annual volumes were to appear, but the series stopped after the fourth was issued. Nöggerath used all the tools at his command including chemistry to investigate the minerals, rocks, and geology of the mountains. Many others contributed important papers to this series, these Nöggerath edited and frequently wrote notes and additions to them. The very descriptive observations are by today's standards quaint artifacts of a different age, but they are nevertheless useful for their historical perspective. The plates show hand-colored maps, geological cross sections and views.

(Born: Helsingfors, Finland, 18 November 1832; DIED: Stock- holm, Sweden, 12 August 1901) Finnish geographer, ge- ologist, mineralogist & historian of cartography. Nordenskiöld's ancestors originally came from Swe- den, but for several generations had settled in Finland. His father, Nils Gustav Nordenskiöld, was both a mineralogist and an explorer. After applying himself especially to chem- istry and mineralogy, he graduated from the University of Helsingfors in 1853, and accompanied his father on an ex- pedition to the Urals Mountains of Russia to study the iron and copper mines at Tagilsk. In 1855, Nordenskiöld traveled to Berlin to continue his mineralogical studies. He returned to Helsingfors receiving his masters and doctor- ate degrees. However, differences with the Russian author- ities caused him to relocate to Stockholm, where he was appointed professor and curator of the mineralogical de- partment of the Swedish State Museum. He made many expeditions, most notably to Greenland and the arctic. In 1880, he was made a Swedish baron and commander of the Order of the Nordstjerna.

VERY SCARCE. In the introduction, Nordenskiöld writes that the advances in mineral chemistry published in Rammelsberg's Handwörterbuch des Chemischen Theils der Mineralogie (Berlin, 1841) has provided a solid foundation on which a true chemical classification of mineral species can be built. For crystallography, the work of Brooke and Miller was relied on. The "Register" provides an alphabetical list of mineral species described in the text. The text describes minerals found in Finland classified according to a chemical classification.

He studied chemistry and mineralogy at Abo Academy under J. Gadolin. Through the patronage of Count Fabien Steinheil, he was given the opportunity to study abroad for a long period. Upon his return in 1817, Nordenskiöld was appointed inspector of mines in Finland, followed by a post as superintendent of the Mining Board in Helsingfors in 1823. He was elected a member of the Academy of Sciences at Helsingfors.

Olafur Olafsyn traveled through out Iceland in the summers of 1775-1777 under instructions to study harbors and landing sites in order to find places suitable to set up fishing settlements. Olavius wrote a book on his travels and research entitled Oeconomisk Reise igiennem Island, published in 1780. This economic survey concentrates on northern Iceland and contains detailed references to mining, mineral resources, shipping and fishing. Icelandic waters have always been extremely productive fishing grounds and have been fought over many times. The book includes a new map of Iceland which was largely unchanged from the map contained in Eggert Ölafsson and Bjarni Pálsson's Reise igiennem Island (Sor0e, 1772), but was printed in a slightly different format and was something of an improvement. It was Jón Eiriksson who was mainly responsible for creating the map but he would have used Olavius' data. The coastline of the country is unchanged from the journal map but the treatment of the place names is vastly superior. REFERENCES: BL: [456.a.4.]. • Fiske: I, 445. • LKG: XIV 37*. 3572.

Through Olearius, The Duke of Schleswig-Holstein purchased the collection and brought it to his estate at Gottorf in 1651. After subsequent additions, Olearius was retained to write this catalog, which was long used by collectors as a convient handbook. Murray records that the greater part of the Museum was then taken to St. Petersburg, where it was absorbed into the imperial collections. The first few plates are of ethnographic interest relating to the East and also Lapland, plate 5 shows a representation of the seasons by an arrangement of fruits and plants, and the others show animals, minerals, fossils, etc. The book is completed by a Holstein Chronicle of the same author following after the work here described.

By 1570, the fame of Calzolari's Museum had spread beyond the borders of Italy, and was well known to naturalists throughout Europe. Besides, within Italy, Calzolari's generosity and hospitality attracted a large number of visitors, particularly physicians, to personally visit the Museum. For these reasons and a close bond of friendship between Calzolari and Olivi, the later undertook to compile a catalog of the museum's objects. It appeared as a small book of little substance, which contains typical of the time, a number of recommendatory letters. The title records that the work is dedicated to Dr. Gerolamo Mercuraile, a physician of Forli, and instructor at the University of Padua. Following are 21 pages of dedicatory letters and sonnets extolling the value of a catalog of the museum, describing the aim of the work, and giving an actual eyewitness account of an actual visit. Included are observations about the museums contents, including the relatively large collection of portraits of celebrated philosophers and doctors. The inventory of the items follows and includes in its listing, herbs, animals and minerals, in no systematic order, with frequent references to exhibits in the Calzolari museum. The work concludes with another declaration, complete with seal, by the 1108 Mineralogy So Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft.

(BORN: Agen, in southern France, cl510; DlED: Paris, France, 1590) French geologist. Palissy was a technical chemist and potter, and self taught naturalist. He was trained in the manufacture and decoration of stained glass windows. After his apprenticeship, Palissy traveled throughout France. He was fascinated by the various soils and stones and immediately took up the study of chemistry. He studied chemistry in the labs of alchemists and pharmacists. H is interest in collecting mineralogical specimens was inspired by his interest in developing new colored glasses for his pottery. Palissy converted to Protestantism in about 1546. He was one of the first Huguenots in Saintes, and was much persecuted for his religion. He joined with other artists to form a reformed church. Although a warrant of arrest was issued as early as 1558 for this group of artists, Palissy was imprisoned in Bordeaux in 1562. He was released through the influence of the queen mother. In 1588, soon after religious warfare once more broke out in France, he was 1112 Mineralogy So Crystallography: A Biobibliography . ^rofeflor« ber 91otur.(Sí№i(ft(í unt> otbrtiilid)«! 59J¡(g(írtí« bet ¡Ru$ifá)tSlen." 1120 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography our les Orfèvre* , Jouaiuieií, Aftîncurt, Fondeurs , CtanJionnicií, Potiers d'Eu'r'g , Coutelier» , Plombiers .

(Born: 1663; Died: London, England, 20 April 1718) English naturalist. The son of James and Mary Petiver of Hillmorton, Warwickshire. Educated at Rugby Free School he was later apprenticed to Mr. Feltham, Apothecary to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Subsequently he became Apothecary to Charterhouse and seems to have had a good practice at the White Cross near Long Lane, Aldersgate Street, London, where he resided for the rest of his life. A close friend of John Ray and recognised as a botanist, Petiver spent a good deal of time studying natural history. In October 1695 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In spite of a busy practice Petiver managed to correspond with naturalists throughout the world and form large collections representing all groups of natural science. At the same time he made numerous expeditions into the country in order to add specimens to his museum. After a period of ill-health Petiver died, unmarried, at his home in Aldersgate Street on 20th April I7I8 and was buried at St. Botolph's Church in the same street. Although he never seemed to be comfortably off financially during his lifetime his collections, books and manuscripts were purchased by Sir Hans Sloane for ¿4,000, a very large sum in those days, and ultimately passed to the British Museum fomling the basis of the collections there.

LISNEY: Petiver's scientific writings were chiefly concerned with zoology, botany and mineralogy and included papers in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. Most of his publications consisted of monographs, pamphlets and broadsheets many of which were illustrated. His contribution to entomology in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries comes second only in importance to the work of John Ray, as exemplified chiefly by Ray's Historia Insectorurn which was published posthumously. These two early naturalists between them laid a firm foundation to our knowledge of the entomology of Britain at that time. The entomological references are included in a variety of miscellaneous zoological, botanical and other treatises published between 1695 and I7I7. Although each species is classified by a concise descriptive sentence instead of a name, identification is a comparatively easy matter where plates are present because of the excellent drawings. It was not until publication of the Systema Naturae by Linnaeus in 1735 that a generic and specific name was given to each 1133 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &¿ History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Petrini animal, flower and insect known to him. I am convinced that all Petiver's works were issued separately as and when published and that any early volumes consisting of a number of them bound together was an arrangement by the purchaser and not the publisher. I do not, therefore, agree with Lowndes that most of Petiver's works, published between 1702 and I7I5 and bound in volumes, constitute first editions. Petiver probably intended his Gazophylacium to consist of two folio volumes of five decade each. The text in the first volume was printed on one side of the paper only so that it could be cut up and pasted on the front end paper and on the backs of the plates; by this means the appropriate text faces the plate to which it refers. Copies with printed dedications pasted at the bottom of each plate occur but more often these are not present. Later the text was printed on both sides of the paper. Examples of the first volume, one of which is in my possession, are very rare and a copy in my library of the second is, as far as I can ascertain, the only one recorded. All Petiver's works are exceedingly rare and it is doubtful if copies of many of them still exist as separate publications. Undoubtedly a considerable number would have been lost to posterity entirely were it not for the fact that John Millan, publisher and extensive dealer in new and second-hand books, realizing how scarce Petiver's works were becoming even at that time bought up all available stocks and issued them bound together with special title pages and additional unpublished material by the same author. On the verve of the title-pages the publisher has noted that the last set of Petiver's works was sold through the trade for the sum of .£20, a high price in those days compared with their original cost. In order to avoid confusion Petiver's publications are collated here under cover of the titles of these two collected editions; by no means all however contain references to British lepidoptera. The first collected edition, published by Millan in 1764, consists of two folio volumes and one octavo. It is undoubtedly this disparity in size which has resulted in many sets being incomplete with the third octavo volume missing, having no doubt become separated on library shelves. Three years later the second collected edition was published in two folio volumes and this also consists of original copies of Petiver's works bound together. The octavo text of the original third volume was reproduced in folio and some new material was also included.

Subditorum (1st ed., Pragse, 1574). This section by Ercker is one of the fundemental early texts in the field, containing considerable important information about the processes of mining and refining ores, including directions for building the requisite ovens and cauldrons. The second part, with its own title page dated 1683, which is Pettus' original contribution to the volume, contains "essays on metallick words, as a dictionary to many pleasing discourses." This is the first metallurgical dictionary in English consisting of a glossary of about 600 terms used in mineralogy, mining and assaying. The engraved illustrations are used for illuminating the technological detailed discussed in the text. This work was reissued with a new title page in 1686, and it is that issue that is most commonly encountered.

Phillips graduated from Princeton in 1887, and immediately began a 49 year teaching career at that institution. He was for some years an instructor in biology, and afterwards analytical chemistry and mineralogy. In 1898, he was appointed assistant professor of mineralogy and in 1903 he succeeded H.B. CORNWALL as full professor of mineralogy. He was chairman of the organizing committee for the foundation in 1919 of the Mineralogical Society of America, becoming its president in 1931.

Descriptive Mineralogy (pp. 219-545) and III. Determinative Mineralogy (pp. 546-680). Within crystallography, Phillips describes the various crystal systems, methods of drawing crystals, optical properties and the use of the goniometer. The section of descriptive mineralogy describes the origins of minerals, physical properties and the system of mineralogy based upon Dana's. Finally, within determinative mineralogy, are described various reagents and blowpipes. Included are three tables for the determination of the more common minerals: 1. by physical properties, 2. through thin sections and 3. by chemical tests.

(BORN: London, England, 10 May 1775; DIED: London, England, 2 April 1828) English author, bookseller, mineralogist & geologist. Born into the Quaker faith as the son of James Phillips, printer and bookseller in London, William was the brother of the distinguished chemist Richard Phillips [1778-1851]. He early on became interested in mineralogy and geological studies to which he devoted all his leisure time. He participated in the foundation of the Geological Society of London in 1807. He wrote several popular works in the geological field, including Outlines of the Geology of England and Wales (London, 1822) with W.D. Conybeare [1815-1857]. This volume with its careful original observations, good descriptions and an innovative arrangement marked the beginning of a new era in English geological publications. Philips was a elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1827 and the Linnean Society in 1819. The mineral "Phillipsite" was named after him by A. LEVY in 1825.

VERY SCARCE. Developed as a text to accompany a series of subscription lectures given by Phillips during the winter of 1815, this work was intended as an elementary introduction to the sciences of mineralogy and geology. The clear writting style that is the trademark of the author contributed to the popularity of this small book, and undoubtedly lead to the issuing of several revised editions. The text is divided into five lectures. The first on pages 1-27 gives preliminary observations about mineralogy and geology, and it describes simple and compound minerals. The second on pages 28-60 covers the properties of the metals and combustibles. The third lecture (pages 61-91) describes the purpose behind geological inquiry, while briefly describing various hypotheses about the earth and its formation. The origin of fossils on mountain tops is treated in the fourth section (pages 92-140), while on pages 141-192, the fifth lecture characterizes mineral veins, various mineral deposits like salt and coal, volcanoes, the Deluge and the internal structure of the earth. For any reader interested in becoming further acquainted with minerals, the preface plugs JOHN MAWE's establishment in the Strand where "small collections ... [of minerals] may be had of one hundred varieties and upwards, with an arranged catalogue ... at any price between $5 and $100." If the reader desires further reading in mineralogy, ARTHUR AlKIN's Manuel of Mineralogy (London, 1815) is recommended. Of the plates, number 1 is used as a frontispiece and shows the comparative heights of mountains, number 2 shows primiative forms of crystals, number 3 a cross section of Brocken mountain and number 4 mineral veins in the Tin Croft and Pink Mines.

VERY SCARCE. Co-authored with HENRY JAMES Brooke and William Hallowes Miller, this work is one of the best textbooks of crystallography and mineralogy ever published. In printing sequence this work would be considered a sixth edition of William Phillips' introduction to Mineralogy (1st ed., London, 1816). Written as it was, however, a quarter century after Phillips death, with thorough revision and updating, this work quite appropiately has been known ever since its publication as "Brooke ic Miller." In the preface, Brooke writes that his contribution to the work was in supplying "such specimens and crystals as it appeared desireable again to examine and measure. In every other respect the treatise has been composed and arranged entirely by Professor Miller." The volume begins with an introduction to the science, the first significant portion of which is devoted to crystallography. The system adopted is essentially the same as that Miller first presented in his earlier A Treatise on Crystallography (Cambridge, 1839). The names adopted for the six systems of crysallization are cubic, pyramidal, rhombohedral, prismatic, oblique, and anorthic. Figures are given in the descriptive mineralogy, illustrating the crystallization of the species. The crystallographic notation employed are the Indices of Miller. Other sections of the introduction describe the optical, physical and chemical properties of minerals. The descriptive mineralogy based upon chemical makeup then follows. Species are listed with notes about their common synonyms, their known crystal forms, their chemistry following RAMMELSBERG's analyses, their optical characters including refraction and polarization and other phyical properties. An appendix lists minerals which are not fully described or of doubtful composition. The work closes with an index to the species listed.

Auction sale catalog of Phillip's large mineral collection, of which many specimens were used to illustrate Phillips textbooks on mineralogy. The text of the catalog follows the physical arrangement of the collection by briefly describing the specimens contained in each of the 100 drawers of the cabinet, together with locality information. The cabinet was arranged according to the last edition of Phillips' MineraJogy (London, 1823), and consist of a total of about 1,000 selected specimens, that embrace nearly all of the mineral species then known, as well as many of the varieties. Although heavy on specimens from English localities, the remainder of the world is well represented in this cabinet of minerals. This large mineral collection was sold in its entirety at auction to Dr. John Rutter of Liverpool. Rutter apparently added a few other specimens, and bequeathed it to the Medical Institution of Liverpool. Subsequently, the collection was transferred in 1887 to the Liverpool Museum. There it was completely destroyed during the Second World War in the bombing raids of May 1941, and so this rare sale catalog is the only lasting record of Phillips mineral collection.

Edited by Nicolas Bérauld [see note below]. This is the only book in which Bérauld's name occurs as publisher, and it is also one of the first books to be printed for the first of the Chaudières, who in 1514 started as a bookseller. The printer Jean Barbier (als called Tonsor, Passet) was originally with Julian Notary and J.Huvin at London (ca. 1496) and in 1498 he printed at Westminster together with Notary a missal for Wynkyn de Worde (Proctor 9742). In 1502 he established his print shop in Paris. He died while at work on the present book, the business being continued by Bérauld who married Barbier's widow. Therefore Barbier's address "sub signo ensis" figures here as Bérauld's press. Nicolaus Bérauld (Beraldus Aurelius). (BORN: Orleans, France, 1473; DIED: 1550) French philosopher & scholar. Bérauld was a friend of Erasmus, and numbered among his proteges D'Andelot and Admiral de Coligny. In 1521, he published a Greek/Latin Dictionary, and in 1516 a translation of Pliny.

In 1552, he settled at Lyons, where he opened a successful medical practice. He formed a project to unite in a single work all previous acquistions in botanical science, and after expending thirty years on it, left the completion of it to Desmoulins.

First appearance of the translation by Christoforo Landino [see note below] from Historia Naturalis (3rd ed., Venice, 1472). Landino exectued this translation on the order of Ferdinand I of Aragon. During the decade that the Frenchman Nicolaus Jenson (cl420-after 1482) was printing in Venice he produced what are commonly regarded as the most beautiful books of the incunable (pre-1500) period. Jenson has been described as the first non-German printer we know. His "antiqua" roman type was modelled on the hand favored by the Renaissance humanists who emphasized the study of ancient Latin texts. Jenson's version of antiqua roman type, however, shows some development beyond the sheer i mitation of handwriting evident in the versions used by other printers. Jenson's own work continues to inspire imitation: the Oxford Lectern Bible on display in the rear gallery uses a 20th century adaptation of Jenson's type by Bruce Rogers, as do the texts (like this one) which describe this exhibit. This Italian translation of Pliny was published in a rather large edition of 1025 copies. Christoforo Landino. (BORN: Florence, Italy, 1424; DIED: Florence, Italy, 1504) Italian humanist philosopher and Latin poet. Landino professor of rhetoric and poetry at the Academy founded in Florence by his sovereign and is best known for his commentaries on Horace and Dante. He was a protege of Cosimo de' Medici, educating his sons, and enjoyed a well-deserved fame in Renaissance Italy. References: BL. • BMC XV: 5, 176 [1С 19694]. • Goff: no.

VERY SCARCE. Second issue of the first English translation, translated by Philemon Holland [see note below]. Pliny's Historie of the World is an encyclopedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world. It is the only work that has survived to the present day of the 132 written by this prolific author and seeker of knowledge who lost his life exploring the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 a.D. The Histoire treats mathematics, physics, geography, astronomy, medicine, zoology, anthropology, physiology, philosophy, history, agriculture, mineralogy, arts and letters. The work which was handed down through many manuscripts and over 500 printed editions (1st, Venice, 1469) exserted a incalculable influence on Western culture. Plane was an accumulator of facts and these he faithfully recorded without critical comment or skeptical judgment and thus the believes of the ancients were propagated forward to the present day.

The classic Baconian "Natural History" , a systematic gathering of information and observations on the flora, fauna, geology, paleontology and intellectual history of Oxfordshire. Plot's botanical descriptions have been highly praised, and he had some notion of stratigraphy and described and illustrates a variety of fossils (and some minerals), including a large fossil quadruped bones. He also gives a detailed account of Oxford science, arguing in some detail that Roger Bacon was the true inventor of the telescope, and reviewing the inventions and discoveries of Wilkins, Wallis, Boyle, Hooke, Halley, and others. On the strength of this book, Plot was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. The History of Oxfordshire is a very interesting work, full of queer old-world information, quaint digressions, and pleasant meandering, winding gently on each side of the main discourse. It contains a map of Oxfordshire curiously bordered round with the arms of the resident nobility and gentry, and each of its excellent plates of illustrations bears a dedication in the corner to some noble patron, with the emblazonment of his arms. Dr. Plot was evidently acquainted with the views of Steno, but he did not share them; on the contrary, he met them with a strenuous Opposition, in which he displayed great resources of learning and dialectic skill. A whole chapter of the History is devoted to the description of the Fossils, or, as they are there termed, the "Formed Stones" of the county. It is illustrated by engravings which, for truthfulness, leave little to be desired, so that, even at this distance of time, there is little difficulty in recognizing and identifying the different genera or even species that they represent. The stones to which Dr. Plot first directs attention are those that stand in some connection with the heavenly bodies, such as the Sun-stone, of which, however, there are none in Oxfordshire; the Moon- stone, or Selenites; the Asteriae, or Star-stones, which are evidently the joints of the stem of a fossil, now called Etracrius briareus; the Astroites, bodies of irregular form, but adorned with constellations of stars; these are clearly corals, such as are now named Isastrea and Thallluastrea; and final]y such stones as are supposed, " by the t ligar at least," to be generated in the Clo eds and discharged thence in the times of Thu lder and viole It Shoccers" ; such are Belemnites, and 1 ronti e Ornbrite; in the two latter we now recognize several kinds of Sea-urchins. The author shell passes to " The Stones that concern the Watery Kirigdo it " ; some of these are spars or minerals; others are true fossils such as a " Strombites," which is compared to the living " Concha Tridacna," so called, the author quaintly observes, " because they made three Mouthfuls apiece," and he ingenuously adds that were "the Strombites not a Stone I must pronounceit the Same," i.e., as the living Tri lacna. A " Conchites " of the kind we now term " Rhynchonella" is il troduced to us, and in a digression we are informed that specimens of this "made red-hot and put into drink are accounted a present Remedy for a Stitch." Plot did not believe in the organic nature of fossils. In the first place, Plot clearly perceived that the admission of the organic nature of fossils brought with it a whole train of perplexing consequences. To avoid these, he preferred an appeal to crystallization, as raising ultimately fewer difficulties. Other branches of science were not at that time sufficiently advanced to show the baselessness of this explanation; the subject was a difficult one, many additional observations w ere needed, and the mind of Plot was eminently critical. When we survey the vast superstructure that modern science has raised on the foundation prepared by Steno, i.e., on the organic nature of fossils, and the superposition of stratified rocks, none but an impatient mind will feel other than grateful to Plot for having subjected these fundamental principles to the severest examination, for having spared no argument which could possibly be brought against them. Next to suggestive generalization, science stands in need of honest criticism.

He presents polite dialogues on natural history and human artifice among four fictional characters: a knowledgeable Prior, an inquisitive Knight, a Count and a Countess. The discussion tends toward the discovery of good design in its exposition of natural phenomena and of their usefulness for human industry. The Prior states that God placed stone in the earth expressly for human use in building. The ferocity of wild animals is explained as an opportunity provided by God for our training in arms against the depredation of fellow humans. In another example, God's purpose for burrowing worms was to provide commerce and 1190 Mineralogy &г Crystallography: A Biobibliography ¿¿ History by Curtia P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft.

Pluche was important because his work proved widely popular, passing through dozens of French editions before 1800 and it was translated into Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian and English translations. It was the fourth most common work to be found in private libraries between 1750-1780. Pluches role in the history of science is, however, is fairly complex. Even while he drew upon the work of Newton, Musschenbroek, Galileo, Copernicus, dGravesande, Nollet, Leeuwenhoek and other eminent scientists, he was frequently skeptical of "gentlemen who cant perceive the hand of the Almighty in any of the works of nature." Many scholars argue that Pluches devout approach, rather than making new scientific advances truly intelligible to the public through the medium of everyday language, succeeded rather in diluting the scientific content. However, this criticism by no means diminishes Pluches influence and success.

A significant volume, published with comments by the Languedocian scholar Philippe Jacques de Maussac [1590-1650]. It brings together three scientific and esoteric works for the first time: 1) De Fluviorum et Montium Nominbus of Plutarch which is here printed in its first Latin translation prepared by Philippe Jacques de Maussac. 2) De Lapidum Virtutibus of the mathematician and philosopher of Constantinople, Michael Psellus [1020-1110], appears here for the first time in a treatise on mineralogy and hermetism. It is accompanied by the Latin translation also given by Maussac and which appears here also in its first edition. 3) Microcosmus seu Liber Cephale Anatomicus de Proportione Utriusque Mundi by the doctor of Nimes Jean Pistorius and had been published previously in Lyon in 1606. It is a curious and esoteric treatise which puts in parallel mankind and the Universe. The compilation volume is seldom complete. Brunet describes it with the following comment: "Not a common edition. There are examples with a general title announcing the treatise De Microcosmo of J. Pistorius but with the treatise not present." The first of these works, that entitled De Fluviorum et Montium (Treatise on Rivers and Mountains), has been attributed to Plutarch, who was born about 46 C.E. and died at a very advanced age, although the exact date of his death is not known. It is included in some editions of Plutarch's collected works, and omitted in others. lit is now generally agreed that the treatise was not written by him but by some unknown author who is generally referred to as either "pseudo-Plutarch" or "Ct-Plutarch," and that it dates from the first quarter of the third century. It is a strange work and at first glance the reader is at a loss to know whether he has before him a treatise on geography or one on religion. Further examination, however, shows it to be a magical and medical treatise, resembling the Kyranides in many respects, and like these it is divided into twenty-four chapters, the number corresponding to that of the letters in the Greek alphabet. There are twenty-four stones mentioned in this Treatise, some of them, as for example beryl, asterites and sardonyx, being well known, others are well-known stones which here appear under new names. Contents of the volume are the Ы -Plutarch's Libellvs de Flvviorvm dt Montivm (pp. 1-96), followed by the Liber De Fluminibus of Vibio Sequestre (pp. 97-126) and notes and commentary to both (pp. 127- 333). This work contains the first appearance of the Libellus de Lapidum virtutibus oî Michèle Psello, which is fully described under that author. After a separate title page, introductory material by Gilberto Gualmino (pp. 337-343) begins the Psello text, which has been edited and translated by Philippe Jacob de Maussac. This text appears on pages 345-357, set in two columns, with the Greek (on the left) and Latin (to right). The Psellos work is then followed by the Castigationes (pp. 358-361), and an appendix with notes by Arpocrazione (pp. 361-375). The De Microcosmo of J. Pistorius that sometimes accompany the book, but which is not always present, has a separate title page and pagination of 60 pages.

VERY SCARCE, especially in complete sets. The best bibliography of exact science in existence, not only as containing many works that could only be traced with difficulty in other bibliographies, but for giving biographical particulars of many authors who could not be found elsewhere, and including as a unique feature an almost complete list of the scientific papers of the various authors contributed to learned societies. For these the first two volumes are specially important as they contain papers published in the eighteenth century, which cannot be traced elsewhere. The work is of such value, that it is being continued in the present day. Volumes cover the years, the first 2 volumes listed ancient scientists to 1858, part 3 covers 1858 to 1883, part 4 covers 1884 to 1903, part 5 covers the years 1904 to 1922, part 6 covers 1923 to 1931, part 7a covers Germans 1932 to 1953, and part 7b covers non-Germans, 1932 to 1962. An eighth volume was completed by 2003 finishing off this remarkable series. REFERENCES: Salie, H., "Ein Standardwerk zur Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften.

This work, among the first to act as a handbook to apothecary, contains chapters, each with its own vingette, on sugar manufacturing, whale hunting, extraction of whale oil, tobacco, unicorns, mummies, coffee, tea, ostrich, etc. The third part of 116 pages deals with the mineral substances used in pharmacy with notes about their extraction and preparation. Considered the better edition due to the presence of the engraved portrait. This was the only edition published during the life of Pierre Pomet and it was the most important illustrated book on medical plants and animals during the 17th century. Garisson and Morton quote it as: "The most complete Materia Medica of his time". It was devided in 3 parts, the first dealing with plants, the second with animals and the third with fossils, metals, minerals and the index with appendix. There are 160 plants depicted amongst which tabacco and tea and several of the "Caffe" plant and 28 animals ofwhich one the famous double "portrait" of a Whale, called here " Cachalot et Baleine Femelle" and 5 figures of the " Unicorne or Licorne" and a famous one of " des Perles" . The minerals are not illustrated.

It describes her extensive collections, mostly of specimens related to natural history. Also included are descriptions of coins, pictures, china, jewels, and the like. Upon her death, and after distribution of part of her collection to her son, the third Duke of Portland, and to others, this catalogue of the remainder, 4,156 numbered lots, was prepared for a sale to be held on 38 days between April 24th and June 7th of 1786. In addition, the Duke decided to sell some items from his portion of his mother's collection, but these, the 107 lots of the 39th day's sale, on June 8th, were not catalogued.! 1 ' 2 ] Offerings consisted primarily of specimens of avian and marine life and samples of minerals including many crystals, and fossils ("petrifactions"). Among other items sold were Hogarth prints, a prayer book and saltcellar formerly in the possession of Elizabeth I, and the Barberini vase, which the Duchess had obtained from Sir William Hamilton and which later become known as the Portland vase. The catalogue was a sophisticated production in some ways, even offering a two— page bibliography of scientific references. Lowndes (1857—64) records that the complete sale realized .£11,546.

Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Pott secret of making porcelain. The King of Prussia had commissioned Pott to discover the secret for making Meissen porcelain. To achieve his goal, he employed the "dry method," heating to high temperature in a furnace, all manner and mixture of substances, mostly mineral in nature. The range of reactions recorded was a model of comprehensiveness in the chemical study of the time and showed conclusively that relative reactivity could be discovered through planned, interrelated analysis. Pott did not discover the secret to making porcelain and fell out of favor with the King. But his published results had wide relevance to manufacture, and were invaluable for the further development of theories regarding chemical affinity.

The Académie Böhmische Gelehrte Privatgesellschaft (Academy of Learned Private Study in Bohemia) was founded in 1770 by von Born. The academy's focus was on the history, mathematics and natural history of Bohemia, which is reflected in their published oracle that contains interesting papers in mathematics, mineralogy and fossils. The first series of their journal was published in 6 parts, 1775-1784. This Society was afterwards extended and reorganised under the title of Königlich-Böhmische Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften.

Zimmerman, Samuel. The Probierbüchlein is a treatise very important for the history of the development of mineral chemistry. Early manuscripts contained much detailed and accurate information concerning the methods of separating gold and silver from other metals and from one another by so-called cementation processes as well as information concerning the preparation and use of the strong mineral acids in the treatment of metals and ores. The Probierbüchlein reveals the use of nitric acid and aqua regia in the systematic parting of the metals as developed into a well conventionalized system as well as other techniques in assaying metals and ores. This is the first printed work on assaying, and it displays the art already full-grown, so far as concerns gold and silver, and to some extent copper and lead. It publishes technical details much as they are still practiced in the assayer's office today. However, the random collection of procedures given suggests that the original manuscript was produced by a working assayer who collected together useful snippets of information rather than a coherent discussion of the subject. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries a large number of small printings of this text appeared. Demand must have been brisk, as it was the only handbook on the subject available to the many jewelers and assayers. Even Agricola plagiarized whole sections from the Probierbüchlein in his works on mining. But the rarity of any given edition is remarkable. Many issues are known in only one, two or three survivng copies, making a definitive bibliography difficult. Even which book was the first to appear was for a long time a question. However, based on the previous researches of the Hoovers, Darmstädter, Siseo and Smith, Pieper, and other sources the following list is presented. There may be additional printings not yet known. 3972. German, cl518 [First edition]. Probir büchlin/ vff Golt | Silber/ Kupfer/ Blei/ vñ akkerket ertz | gemeyrtem nutz zu gut geordenet.

Extremely rare. The place and publication of this early edition is cloaked in mystery. However, most authorities place this as the first edition of the Probierbüchlein. At the Herzog- August Bibliothek in Woltenbiittel, a copy of this book is bound up with editions of the Bergbiichlein and a mathematical work that are both dated 1518. This led Darmstädter to conclude it was of the same vintage, and assign it to the Schöffer Press at Worms. Like the 1518 Bergbiichlein this edition of the Probir Büchlein contains the 'Bernamen' as some of the subsequent editions do not. Further research by Benzing of publications from Schöffer's press shows that based on the typeface and the general appearance of the title page this is a circa 1518 publication from Schöffers's firm. This reaffirms Darmstädter's conclusion, which Pieper also accepts. Only Siseo and Smith dissent, basing their evidence on the stylistic quality of the text, and place this edition after the 1524 and 1527 printings. REFERENCES: Benzing, Josef. "Peter Schöffer d.

An. | M.D.XXXV."; AAallv, Blank.; AA12v, Petri's device. RARE. The preface by Oronce Finé [see note below] is dated "Parisijs ex regali collegio Nauarres. 1523," which would suggest that there is an edition of that date. However, since no edition near that year exists, it is more likely a misprint for 1533. The text is preceded by the index. "This edition gives only part of the elaborate engravings found in the earlier ones. It is, however, much better printed, being set in clear Roman type and having a more open page." (Smith). The map in the first section is like the one in the first edition with the twelve head winds. The appendicies fill pages 1099 to 1498 and include: "Declaratio Specvli Orbis" by Gualtero Lud. Canónico Deodatensi (pp. 1421-1424), "Nova Terras descriptio secvndvm Neotericorum obseruantiam" (pp. 1433-1434), followed by a crude, folding woodcut map, with the inscription at the top "Typis vniversalis terrae, ivxta modernorvm distinctionem et exteonem per regna et provincias." This map shows a portion of America with the inscription, "Paria seu prisilia." Oronce Finé. (BORN: Briançon, France, 20 December 1494; DIED: Paris, France, 6 October 1555) French mathematician. In 1530 Finé (Fineus, Finasus) was appointed professor of mathematics at the Collegio (later Collège de France) in Paris. He was the author of numerous scientific works and the inventor of mechanical and astronomical devices.

VERY SCARCE. Although the title page indicates this voluminous work is based on D.L.G. Karsten's Mineralogische Tabellen (1st ed., Berlin, 1800), it is also in fact one of the greatest articulations of Werner's mineralogical and geological theories. The first volume presents an introduction to mineralogical science, including discussions of mineral nomenclature, the physical and chemical properties, etc. The next four volumes provide a highly detailed descriptive mineralogy, with each species listed having all the known information provided. The next two volumes of the set are concerned with Geognosy, or geology in general, while the final volume contains the corrections and an index to the entire work. A remarkable work, and one of the fullest explanations of Werner's theories ever to appear.

(Born: Lyon, France, 4 February 1806; DIED: Paris, France, 28 June 1863) French mining expert & philosopher. Reynaud graduated from the Polytechnic School in 1827 and entered the School of the Mines. While a student there he made a long trip from May to November 1829, through the Harz Mountains, the Black Forest, Saxony, Hannover, Oldenbourg, Westphalia, Belgium and the Netherlands. He graduated in 1830. He became an engineer in Corsica. During the revolution of 1830 he was for a time imprisoned. Afterwards he became a member of the Saint-Simonian community and in his Terre et Ciel (1854), Reynaud set out a religious system based on the transmigration of souls which he believed was reconcilable both with Christianity and pluralism. Reynaud was also a co-founder of the Encyclopédie Nouvelle. REFERENCES: Internet search. • PoggendorfF: 2, col. 618. 4094. French, 1836 [First edition].

The text was a reedited from the Minéralogie des Gens du Monde, ou. Notions Générales sur les Minéraux ¡es plus Utiles à la Société (1836 and 1842). Its authority in France is shown by the multiple editions (apparently being only reissues) that appeared over many years. It is written for the beginning student of mineralogy with its text covering stones, earths, fuels, mineral waters, precious stones. The two colored plates are of mediocre quality.

"The outline of the lessons was first worked out by Mrs. Richards with three successive classes of childern, from six to eight years old, just out of kindergarten.

Published at the expense of the author and dedicated to the King August II of Poland, this work is in rare instances among the earliest mineralogical books to contain colored illustrations. The volume describes and illustrates mineral and rock specimens from the mining region of Saxony. In particular, Richter describes samples of "Wundererde," which is a colorful variety of jasper found near Zwickau and used for ornamental purposes. The 61 exquisite text engravings show in the form of cross-sections examples of this jasper and various ores with embedded minerals, which are carefully labeled with letters and referenced to the descriptive text. In some copies of this work the illustrations have been carefully hand-colored in watercolors and gouache to create beautiful depictions. Wagner (1902), who believes the illustrations to be a fantasy of the artist, records that the originals to the 61 illustrations were held in the collections of the Mineralogische-Geologische Museum in Dresden at the beginning of the 20th century.

RIO, Andrés Manuel del. (Born: Madrid, Spain, 10 November 1764; DIED: Mexico City, Mexico, 23 March 1849) Spanish mineralogist. Del Rio was educated in theology and classical languages at San Isidro, Spain. Because of his excellent scholarship he was sent to study at the Freiberg Del Rio Bergakademie under A.G. WERNER. On his travel back to Spain, he made excursions throughout the mining districts of Europe, learning as much as possible. In France, he became associated with A. LAVOISIER in Paris, but when the French chemist was seized, Del Rio was forced to flee to England. In 1793, he was appointed the first professor of mineralogy at the newly formed Colegio de Minería (School of Mines) in Mexico City. While there he was the first to recognize in the mineral vanadinite a new element he named erthroniurn. Samples he sent to Europe for confirmation were wrongly said to contain only chromium, and it was not until later that it was shown Del Rio was the first discover of the element now know as vanadium.

Impresos en México: por Don Mariano Joseph de Z£- Siüa ï Oniivebos, calle del'Espísjiu Santo, Año de 1^95.- Elementos de Orictognosia, 1795 authored and used by Del Río in the mineralogy courses he taught at the newly founded Colegio de Minería (School of Mines) in Mexico City. This course in mineralogy was probably the first formal instruction in the subject in the Americas, and it was Del Rio's leadership and excellence as a teacher that brought modern scientific and engineering methods into the mining industry of Mexico. The book reflects Del Rio's methods by not simply repeating his former teacher's ideas. Instead the author introduces critical remarks when research as shown other explanations for a particular phenomena, he uses Lavoisier's chemical theories to explain physical qualities, and he includes accounts of his own discoveries. It is a work important in the history of mineralogy in Mexico and the introduction of European scientific methods to the New World. This volume describes the earths, stones and salts. A second remarkably rare volume published in 1805 completes the descriptions by covering the combustibles, metals and rocks. The Colegio was the first institution of technical education founded in the Americas. Graduates of its comprehensive four-year curriculum, were then assigned to a two-year apprenticeship in one of the many mining districts of the Spanish colonies. Later, they would be promoted to inspectors of mines and given opportunities to work in Spain, Mexico, Central America, and the Philippine Islands.

Barcelona, Establecimiento tipo-litográfico de José Cunill. Cortes, 212 y bajada Viladecols, 3, 1900. 8 o : 398 p. Rare. The first part of the work describes the chemistry and chemical manipulation of minerals, including assaying and analysis in both the wet and dry ways. Properties such as crystallography, hardness, lustre, etc. are also covered. The second part is a descriptive mineralogy organized along the classification of Tschermak, which divided the minerals into nine chemical classes. Through out, emphasis is placed on the industrial uses of the minerals, especially in pharmacy, chemistry and agriculture. Notice is also given to the species that were known to occur in Spain.

Robinson compiled the localities by thoroughly searching the literature, and in particular he notes his debt to Parker Cleaveland's Treatise (2nd ed., Boston, 1822) and The American Journal of Science. This work, for many years the authoritative source on America's mineral resources, attracted enough attention that Frederick Hall published an article correcting the errors contained in the catalog [See: American Journal of Science: 15 (1829), 197—9].

Possibly the sale catalog of Samuel Robinson's mineral collection. Robinson, author of the important A Catalogue of American Minerals (New York, 1825), spent much of his life involved in minéralogie studies. After his death in early 1827, Robinson's heirs put his collection up for sale. For this purpose a brief notice appeared in The American Journal of Science [See: 13 (1827), 199]. Although the year on the title page of this work indicates publication in 1829, the preface is dated "New- York July 1st, 1827," which implies the catalog existed for at least a year and a half before it was published. The large size of the collection (1413 specimens) and the inclusion of many European specimens are evidence that this collection was the work of a devoted collector, which is a message that the preface reinforces: "Persons conversant with mineralogy will preceive, after a perusal of the catalogue, that many years of labour have been devoted to the formation of this series of minerals, which is arranged after the best principals of modern science, and enriched by rare crystals. It is the result of private study and of much careful selection ... The rarest minerals of Europe, with choice specimens from India, South America Sec, constitute the collection." The arrangement as stated in the title is according to the doctrines of William Phillip's [q.v.] Elementary Introduction to Mineralogy (3rd ed., London, 1823).

This author bibliography lists hundreds of thousands of articles published in over 1 ,500 periodicals and transactions of learned societies and institutions in various languages during the nineteenth century. It is world wide in scope, and in the case of Russian items a translation in either French or English is provided. It is an unsurpassed compilation covering all the sciences, including mineralogy and crystallography. In regard to indexing articles that are mineralogical in nature, this work carried on in broader scope the tradition of J.D. Reuss' Repertorium Commentationum a Societatibus Litterariis Editarum (16 vols., Göttingen, 1801-21). This work is so important for tracing articles published in the ninteeth century that it is in many cases the first choice for building reference lists for authors of the period. Its compilation was first suggested at the Glasgow meeting of the B.A.A.S. in 1855 by Joseph Henry [1797-1878], secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and the plan was drawn up in 1857. After many years of preparation and considerable expenditure, the first volume appeared in 1867. To give an idea of the size of this catalogue it will suffce to remark that the. papers catalogued in the fourth series alone, for the period 1884-1900, number 384,478 citations, by 68,577 authors. The compilation of a subject index, without which the work loses much of its value, was already contemplated in the first plan (1857). It was finally decided to arrange it in accordance with the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature (which see below). This meant that it would include seventeen volumes, one for each of the seventeen sciences recognized in that catalogue. The first volume, Pure Mathematics, appeared in 1908; the second, Mechanics, in 1909, the third, Physics, in two instalments, Generalities, Heat, Light, Sound in 1912, Electricity and Magnetism in 1914. The publication was then finally discontinued, which is a great pity. Whatever the fate of the International Catalogue may be, there is no justification for leaving the Royal Society Catalogue essentially incomplete, and thus nullifying a large part of the past labor and expenditure. However, with the general introduction of computer technology, hopefully the work will appear on-line and searchable. The Catalogue of Scientific Papers, 1 800- 1900 was itself superceded by the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature (14 vols., London, 1902-19), also prepared by the Royal Society of London, which is described in the next entry.

This is an outgrowth of the Royal Society Catalogue, as it was felt that the scientific literature of the 20th century was too extensive to be dealt with by a single scientific society. Its organization was arranged at the initiative of the Royal Society by an international conference which met in London in 1896, then again in 1898, in 1900, etc. It was decided to divide science into seventeen branches: A. Mathematics. B. Mechanics. С Physics. D. Chemistry. E. Astronomy. F. Meteorology (including Terrestrial Magnetism). G. Mineralogy (including Petrology and Crystallogra- phy). H. Geology. J. Geography (Mathematical and Physical). K. Paleontology. L. General Biology. M. Botany. N. Zoology. 0. Human Anatomy. P. Physical Anthropology. Q. Physiology (including Experimental Psychology, Pharmacology, and Experimental Pathology). R. Bacteriology. A large number of annual volumes were actually published from 1902 to 1916, but the gigantic undertaking was a victim of the first World War and of the national selfishness and loss of idealism which the War induced. The volumes published cover the scientific literature for the period from 1901 to about 1913. The total publication includes 254 octavo volumes of which 14 were devoted to mineralogy. After World War I, the stock was sold to William Dawson and Sons London, who offered a complete sets for the price of .£60 unbound, or .£100 bound (November 1935). Unfortunately most of this stock was destroyed, by enemy action during the second World War and complete sets of these original volumes are now almost 1272 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P.

Section G that was devoted to mineralogy ran a total of 14 volumes. After the preliminaries, the text was divided into two principle sections. The first is an alphabetical author list of the literature while the second is a classified index to the literature. Each entry was provided a reference number and these extend to 22258 in the very last mineralogical entry. Facsimile reprint, 1968: International Catalogue of Scientiñc Literature. New York, Johnson Reprint, 1968. By page reduction, four pages of each original volume have been reduced so that the complete 14 volumes are now reprinted in a single rather thick quarto sized volume.

A handbook of English minerals with localities, chemical formulae, etc. It is based upon the large collection of English minerals brought together by Henry Ludlam [see note below], who bequeathed the collection to the Museum of Practical Geology in London and subsequently incorporated into the British Museum in 1997. The introduction gives an account of the musum. Henry Ludlam. (BORN: 14 October 1824; DIED: London, England, 23 June 1880) English mineral collector. The youngest of a large family Ludlam studied architecture, but became instead a land surveyor, and subsequently a hosier. However the passion of his life was mineralogy and he amassed one of the finest private collections ever assembled in England, incorporating those made by Charles Hampden Turner which in turn contained those of JACOB Forster, Henry Heuland and William Nevill, which included that of diplomat WILLIAM G ARROW LeTTSOM. A wealthy man, Ludlam made extravagant purchases at mineral auctions and was a good customer of the countries mineral dealers. He died unmarried, bequeathing his large mineral collection to the Museum of Practical Geology, London, which has subsequently been incorporated into the Natural History Museum, London. He was a Fellow of the Geological Society and a member of the Mineralogical Society. The mineral "Ludlamite" was named in his honor by Richard Tailing in 1876. References: BL: [7111. c.S.].

This exceedingly rare, earliest known edition of the Bergbüchlein is recognized as the first printed book in the literature of mining. It was reprinted several times in the 16th Century and after 1274 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &¿ History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 RÜLEiN von Calw [which see subsequent entries], and is an important precursor of Georgius Agricola's [q.v.] celebrated De Re Metallica (1st ed., Basileee, 1556). To a smaller degree it also influenced Vannuccio Biringuccio's De ia Pirotechnia. (1st ed., Venetia, 1540), as well as the later works on mining by Lazarus Ercker and Georg Engelhardt von Löhnyess. The Bergbüchlein is a practical handbook designed for beginners rather than experts in the field of mining. The booklet comprises instructions from Daniel, a skilled miner, to Knappius, "his mining boy." In ten chapters, the work contains an introduction to mining geology, touches on some theories of the generation of ores, which is of mineralogical interest, introduces and defines many of the important technical terms of the profession, discusses the ores of the seven most important metals, and how to prospect for them. Not all the information contained in its pages is based on fact or even first hand knowledge of the author but enough of the material was sufficiently practical for Agrícola to have used it as a reference book and even copied certain passages verbatim in writing his more comprehensive work. From references he makes in De Re Metallica Agricola believed the author of the BergbucJifein to have been "Calbus of Freiberg, a well- known doctor," i.e., Ulrich Rülein von Calw. Indeed Rülein is accepted by present-day scholarship as the author, although most editions of the Bergbuchlein were published anonymously. The place and date of this edition is, like its authorship, cloaked in mystery. However, almost without exception experts in the field of mining literature and German literature of this period believe this book to be the earliest edition known. Van Dechen (1885) dated this edition as Augsburg, 1505; Darmstaedter (1926) between 1505 and 1510, printed "probably" by Martin Landsberg of Leipzig; Siseo and Smith (1949) agree with this determination signifying it "Edition A"; while Pieper (1955), in a subsesquent study, says "about" 1500. Only three copies of the work are presently known to exist. One is in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, one at the Staats- unds Stadtbibliothek, Augsburg (lacking leaves 23-26) and one other, listed by the San Francisco bookseller John Howell in catalog number 40 (1970), item 6. The current location of this last copy is unknown. REFERENCES: Baumgärtel, H., Vom Bergbuchlein zur Bergakademie. Zur Entstehung der Bergbauwissenschaften zwischen 1500 und 1765/1770. Mit 16 Bildern.

Rumphius RUMPF (Rumphius), Georg Eberhard. (Born: 1637; DIED: 1706) Dutch naturalist. George E. Rumphius (1628-1702), the blind "Plinius Indicus" , had been in the service of Dutch East-India Company as merchant and was stationed at the island of Ambon where he started researching systematically flora and fauna of this island. He described and drew all he saw and sent his manuscripts over to Amsterdam. His most famous work (2 Ductch, 2 Latin ans one German edition) is D'Amboinische Rariteitskamer, which was published after his death in 1705 in Amsterdam. This work was and is especially interesting and useful for the owners (very popular at the time) cabinets of natural curiosities, the forerunner of the musea of today. Faraway from every centre of intellectual civilisation he was not literally 1277 Mineralogy ¿г Crystallography: A Biobibliography by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ — Edit Draft.

There is also an engraved title page, a beautiful engraved frontispiece portrait showing Rumpf and 4 engraved vingettes. The best copy ever available of this natural history classical work on marine life, geology and mineralogy of the area of the Molucca Islands in the Indonesian Archipelago. Only two colored copies of this book are known, the one in the Library of Artis, Amsterdam. This copy has been coloured by Maria Sybilla Merian, as is written on the half title by the former owner A. Vosrnaer (1720-1799), the director of the princely zoological gardens at Het Klein Loo near The Hague. At an auction in 1779 the 1779 the Vosrnaer copy fetched FL. 240, which was a serious amount of money for a book at that time. Maria Sybilla Merian (1647-1717). She was highly interested in flowers, insects and other aspects of nature, specially those which came from exotic areas as e.g; Surinam, in our copy the half-title and some plates bear manuscript annotations in German.

(BORN: Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 1647; DIED: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 13 January 1717) German/Dutch artist. Merian was the natural daughter of a publisher and engraver, and the stepdaughter of a still-life painter. Not surprisingly, she took up flower painting and engraving. She also took up with an artist, but it didn't last. Unhappy in her marriage, she moved her daughters to a religious community in the Dutch province of Friesland, then later to Amsterdam. There she made powerful friends and eventually received funds from the government to journey with her younger daughter to Dutch controlled Surinam in South America. After a cramped, dirty sea voyage, she landed in a hot, wet-and-dry climate. Undaunted, she pursued her passions for the next two years, painting and insects. She built large collections, which she took back to Amsterdam when she was forced to return in 1701 due to illness. These collections surpassed all others and caused great enthusiasm among the city's scientists.

He then joined the army, and served as lieutenant until 1867, when he became an assistant geologist on the Geological Survey. Working in the Lake district, Rutley began to make a special study of rocks and rock- forming minerals, and soon qualified as acting petrologist for the Geological Survey. For several years be worked in that capacity at the Geological Museum in Jermyn Street. In 1882 he was appointed lecturer on mineralogy at the Royal College of Science, and held this post until ill-health compelled him to retire in 1898.

The descriptions are concise, and the selection of material good. The first section provides an introduction to the science stressing the physical properties of minerals, with a chapter on crystallography and one on optical properties. The second part of the volume is taken up by a descriptive mineralogy that lists characteristics of the most commonly encountered mineral species, including metals with occurrences and uses. At the end is a glossary of terms. Immensely popular the book went through twelve editions during the author's lifetime and more after his death, being perhaps the most frequently reprinted textbook in the mineralogical literature (27th edition, 1988).

Rare. Rutty settled in Dublin in 1724 , where, while extremely active in Dublin intellectual life, he practiced medicine for most of his life. He initiated two long-term projects: a detailed study of materia medica and a systematic record of the weather of Dublin. His pioneering Essay towards a Natural History, the first real county natural history in Ireland, has a particular emphasis on the practical uses, medicinal or culinary, of the flora and fauna. Notably it includes the earliest notice of the brown rat (Rattus Norvegicus) coming to Ireland. The third section describes the soils, agriculture, fossils, mines, minerals, and mineral waters of the region.

(Born: The Hague, The Netherlands, 23 March 1638; DIED: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 22 February 1731) Dutch physician, anatomist & botanist. Ruysch was descended from an old and notable family, whose members were established in various cities. As a youth, he was apprenticed to an apothecary. In 1661, although not yet admitted to the apothecaries guild, he prepared prescriptions and opened his own shop in The Hague. However, the guild ordered him to suspend activity until he passed the required exam, which Ruysch did in the summer of 1661. In 1666, he was named praelector of anatomy for the surgeon's guild in Amsterdam. He held this post the remainder of his long life. Soon after he accepted the appointment, he relocated to Amsterdam, where in various rented houses, he displayed his ever growing collections of anatomical and natural history specimens.

VERY RARE. Auction catalogue of the second, and larger, collection of anatomical and natural history specimens formed by Ruysch. Resident in Amsterdam, Ruysch's collection was famous throughout Europe, and visited by many persons of every description. Generals, ambassadors, princes, and even kings were happy in the opportunity of examining it. In 1698, when Peter the Great visited Holland, he often dined with Ruysch so that he might have an opportunity of examining the cabinet. Ruysch liked his cabinet to be displayed in dramatic ways. "He prepared a corpse of a child as if it were alive so that Peter the Great was inclined to kiss it. A hydrocephalic child was prepared, seated on a cushion and with a placneta in its hands.' (DSB) In 1715, Ruysch announced his intention to sell the collection, but no buyers presented themselves. In 1284 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Sadebeck 1717, on a return visit to Holland, Peter the Great bought it for 30,000 guilders. It was carefully packed and transported by boat to Russia, becoming part of the Royal collections. Immediately after the sale, Ruysch, age 79, began a new collection. After Ruysch's death in 1731, at age 96, the new collection was sold at auction. A large number of items were acquired for 20,000 florins by the King of Poland, John Sobieski, who entrusted their preservation to the University of Wittenberg. (Muray) The catalog of this sale shows that Ruysch's second collection was substantially larger than his first; it describes 1189 anatomical specimens, 27 lots of exotic plants, and a few lots of mineralogical interest in the natural history section. The collection sold to Peter the Great in 1717 contained only 935 items.

Sole edition of this remarkable 1746 prospectus that describes only a small portion of the extensive mineralogical cabinet of the Florentine naturalist Johann De Baillou [see note below]. At the time, the complete collection comprised 30,000 samples of minerals, fossils, rocks and shells, and was one of the largest in the world. This volume provides details of Baillou's collecting philosophy and descriptions of some of the finest specimens of precious stones, native metals, minerals, crystals and other fossils contained in the collection. Baillou vainly hoped that the publication of this small volume would help obtain support for a much more ambitious catalog of his collection; however, its only affect was that it influenced Emperor Franz Stefan I into purchasing the collection in 1748 and retaining De Baillou as its curator, when the whole was moved to Vienna. Upon the Emperors death in 1765, the Empress Maria Theresa presented the collection to the state and opened it to public viewing. The remnants of it are preserved today in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. 1289 Mineralogy &; Crystallography: A Biobibliography &c History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ — Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24. 2007 Sancto Geminiano The volume opens with a preliminary discourse, followed by 27 chapters. Topics include a general idea of the cabinet, the philosophy behind collecting natural history specimens, the principles of the cabinet and petrifications. Other chapters describe the metals, precious stones, marine fossils, corals, crustaceans, animal fossils, earths, salts, sulfurs, alabaster Sc marble, jaspers of various types, agates &c cornealians, pyrites, semi-metals, and rock crystal. The last chapter provides a general description of the cabinets organization. Facing page 149 is a plate printed in red and black, showing the title page of a proposed and never published work. It was Baillou's wish to prepare a full descriptive catalog of the collection, utilizing his own system of classification. It would appear in seven folio size volumes, printed on imperial paper and illustrated by 600 plates rendering the finest specimens. It was a grandiose plan, and without the backing of a wealthy patron, impossible to complete. Unfortunately, the publication never went further than this preliminary solicitation for funds.

First edition of this great classic on the geology of the Alps as well as a milestone of Alpine literature. It is the first work to give a detailed account of this great mountain range of Central Europe. "During these years he crossed the whole chain of the Alps no less than fourteen times and made in addition sixteen other traverses from the plains flanking the range to its central axis, and this at a time when there were but few roads in that part of Europe, which was then shunned by all travellers and where the passage of the mountains was not only difficult but often dangerous... He climbed all the accessible summits, collected specimens of rocks ... He was a contemporary of Werner and with Werner believed that this granite had crystallized out of the water of the primitive ocean While De Saussure's book deals chiefly with the geology of the Alps, it contains many references to the inhabitants of the mountains, their hard conditions of life and their sterling traits of character. He also speaks in the most glowing terms of the pleasure of mountaineering and Alpine explorations..." (Adams). De Saussure proformed experiments on the fusion of granites and porphyries and is considered the first experimental petrologist. He popularized the term 'geology' which replaced 'geognosy'. His work provided James Hutton with fundamental documentation. And without doubt his researches contributed to the modern passion for mountain climbing.

In his day, it was customary to regard the Old Testament as a perfectly accurate description of the history of the earth, and Scheuchzer was certainly a man of his time. In 1725, he examined what he believed was the fossil of a victim of the biblical flood. In 1731, he published a description of the victim in his masterwork: Sacred Physics. Sacred Physics recounted the formation of the earth, the creation of all life and the deluge. References: BL: [Cup.652.a.2.]. РНЖА SACRA 3n фа!.

The objective of this volume was to accurately portray minerals of economic importance in their "exact" colors, so that miners and prospectors could use it as a handbook and a guide to locate valuable ores. The noted engraver Johann Michael Seligmann [see note below] was responsible for the majority of the fine copper plates which show various specimens of copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold ores. The text, written in both Latin and German, meticulously describes the physical properties and modes of occurrence of the figured specimens, thus anticipating the importance of external characteristics in mineralogy. The specimens shown on the plates are unfortunately not fine crystallized specimens, but typical examples of valuable ores; therefore, one will be disappointed if too much is expected of the illustrations as mineral specimen depictions. They are, however, well executed pictures of ores samples. The Berlinischer Sammlungen review notice of Fossilium Metalla. et res Metallicas indicates that sections containing 3 plates were to be issued every 2 months. Probably due to an insufficent number of subscribers however, the flow of new descriptions and plates became erratic, and with only twenty— eight 1310 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P.

Yet, no new descriptions or plates appeared until after 1771. At this point, new sections were published until a total of forty— two plates were issued, then apparently publication again ceased, for copies with 42 plates are considered complete in the standard bibliographic references. Nevertheless, a very few copies exist with descriptions and four additional plates, thereby totaling 46 plates. Since the added plates do not identify their engraver or year of creation, it is assumed they were issued at some later time, and therefore not included in many copies. The signiature collation of the leaves clearly shows that the text was published in such a way that the book could be sold in separate German and Latin volumes as well as the configuration described here with the German and Latin combinded into a single volume. Since most copies of this work appear to be the combination text, it can probably be assumed that both sets of text were sent to subscribers, and it was the subscribers who made the final determination as to what should be bound or not. Johann Michael Seligmann. (BORN: Nürnberg, Germany, 12 October 1720; DIED: Nürnberg, Germany, 25 December 1762) German illustrator/engraver. Seligmann received his training in both drawing and copper engraving at the Nürnberg Malerakademie. He became an associate of Johann Georg Ebersberger [1695-1760] and Johann Justin Preißlers [1698-1771]. Seligmann created illustrations for many religious, scientific and natural history works.

Schmidt is a elusive personality about whom surpris- ing little is known. His full name was Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Schmidt, and he used "F.A. Schmidt" as a pen name. According to Schenkenberg (1842), he had a med- ical practice in Metzingen (Messingen) in Württemberg. He is also listed later by Gistel (1856) as a physician and a "Petrefaktenkenner" or someone knowledgeable about fos- sils in Metzingen. Schmidt was a member of the Society of Naturalists in Württemberg (Vereins für vaterländis- che Naturkunde in Württemberg). Besides minerals, he authored other works on fossils, including Die wichtigsten Fundorte der Petrefakten Württembergs (Stuttgart, 1838). Mayer (1976) is the source for his dates. Although not seen, there might be further informa- tion on Schmidt in M.

The work begins with an introduction to the physical characters of minerals, including form, hardness, specific gravity, color, phosphor esence, magnetism, electricity, and chemistry of minerals. Following this are standard descriptions of various minerals, some of which are illustrated on the plates. Included among the discussed and rendered species are quartz crystals, agates, beryls, emeralds, and topazes. Each plate shows four or more specimens, and although most species are easily recognized from their portrait, the plate quality is cruder than other comparable works. Yet this work ranks among the finer hand— colored mineralogies published.

Beyträge, 1787 had accumulated information about much of New York, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, and after his discharge he took a long arduious, overland route to visit the middle and southern states. Thoughout the journey he recorded his observations about the flora, fauna and mineralogy of the land. The Beyträge focuses on his observations about the mineralogy and geology of the country he passed through. The author was an observant naturalist, and all his works on the botany, mineralogy, geology and customs of the country were among the first accurate scientific views of the new nation.

(BORN: Vienna, Austria, 14 December 1837; DIED: Vienna, Austria, 29 November 1897) Austrian mineralogist & crystallographer. Schrauf was educated at the University of Vienna by the crystallographer W.J. Grailich. In 1861, Schrauf became the assistant custodian of the H of- Mineral- К ab inet in Vienna. He moved on to adjunct-custodian, before becoming the custodian in 1867. In 1862, he was appointed professor of physical mineralogy at the University of Vienna. Schrauf authored many papers mostly on mineralogical and crystallographic topics. For the most, they were devoted to three areas of study: (1) the physical and geometrical properties of minerals, (2) the atomic structure of crystals and (3) mineral paragensis. In his younger days he was closely associated with the Austrian Archduke Stephan, whose fine collection of minerals he studied for the preparation of a catalog (never published?), and to whom his Atlas der Krystallformen is dedicated.

RARE. No more published. An ambitious and rare work, commenced by one of the greatest crystallographers of the time. At the suggestion of Wilhelm Joseph Grailich, Schrauf set his goal to depict every crystalline form known for each mineral species. The species are arranged alphabetically with each plate showing 16 well executed figures of crystals. Each plate is accompanied with a leaf of descriptive letterpress. The text contains crystallographic descriptions of the figures, fundamental dimensions and angles, but without tables relating the inclinations between the various crystal faces. These tables were to be published in a companion volume that never appeared. Many of the figures are by Schrauf himself, and in all cases references are given to the original authority. Due to the tremendous labor, expense and time involved in preparing the plates, only 5 Lieferungen of a projected 20 were ever issued. Each of these contain 10 plates and bears its own title page with dates ranging from 1864 to 1878, when Schrauf abandoned the project. It was not until Victor. Goldschmidt published his own Atlas der Krysta-llformen (Heidelberg, 1913-23) that Schrauf 's idea was carried through to completion.

It was written to supplement the author's Atlas of crystalline forms by providing full descriptions of the minerals. Another volume that was to contain tables of the angles and dimensions of crystals of the various mineral species was planned but never published.

BEYTRÄGE, 1820 of which one double-page and one coloured, 1 nature- printed plate, and 1 lithographed map. Page SIZE: 400 x 280 mm. RARE. The earliest work showing nature- printing of minerals, a process which was later called 'Mineralographie' by Alois Auer. Mr. P. Heilmann an authority on nature printing calls it 'Typennaturselbstdruck' and in an article in the Osterreichische Apotheker- Zeitung of 1980. Schreibers' slim volume, a landmark first edition of the iconography of meteorites, features nature-printed illustrations, where the "nature" in question is a meteorite (not the customary inked leaf or flower). The lithographic plates number among the earliest products of this method of book illustration; some, borrowing a term from early printing in Europe, call them "incunables of lithography."

Nürnberg, Raspe, 1782. 2 : 64 p., 2 engraved portraits (of Christophorus and Johannes Christophorus Gottwald), 49 engraved plates, title vignette. RARE. A beautifully illustrated work (on shells only). Christophorus Gottwald [see note below] created one of the largest Wunderkammer of his time. His collection was purchased by Tsar Peter the Great together with the famous collections of Seba and Ruysch and these created the nucleus of the St. Petersburg 'Kunstkammer.' During his lifetime, Gottwald planned to publish an illustrated catalog of his collection with plates engraved after his own drawings. However, the book was never published, only a few of the plates were distributed by Gottwald's son [see previous entry]. The copper plates were later purchased by the publisher Raspe, who had previously printed works on shells. Schröter was then retained to author a text. So althought this work was published at the end of the 18th century the plates were drawn and engraved a century earlier. The portraits are usually lacking from copies of this work.

Rare. This is Scopoli's first text book on mineralogy. It is an introductory work in mineralogical science, written for the student, and based upon the author's own experience in studying and arranging his mineral collection. Scopoli had become interested in minerals while studying the mercury mines of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1760, and being a curious naturalist had built a substantial cabinet of minerals and fossils. These he arranged according to his own classification system containing two classes: (1) earths and (2) mined substances ('Minern'). Within the first class are contained limestone, chalk, gypsum, clay, mica, asbestos, precious stones, crystal, quartz, fluorite, sandstone, etc., while the second class lists salts, hard earths like opal, amber, sulfur, and precious, semiprecious and semi-metals.

Seba was born a peasant without fortune or prospects. The master of the village school noticed his eagerness to learn, however, ami gave him instruction in Latin and all else he thought useful. After benefiting from these lessons, Seba was able to become an apprentice to an apothecary in Neustadt— Goedens, a town near his birth place. After his apprentiship, Seba moved to Amsterdam, where he found work in the flourishing pharmaceutical industry. Through connections he made there, Seba was offered the opportunity to travel abroad. He made two profitable voyages acting as agent for the famous Dutch East— India Company. Upon his return from the second venture, he settled in Amsterdam, where he married and established his own successful apothecary shop.

VERY SCARCE. This magnificiant work, commonly called Seba's Thesaurus, is a well know illustrated natural history, which in its colored form, is one of the most sumptous and complete records of any 18th century rariteitkammern. Its purpose was to describe and picture the natural history of the known world. The 449 plates (175 double— page) by P. Tanjé, A. van der Laan, F. de Bakker, A. van Buysen jun., De La Croix, J. Folkema, W. Jongman, F. Morellon, K.D. Pütter, J. Punt and J. van der Speyk show specimens from all branches of natural history including some minerals and fossils often in fantastic if not bizzare groupings. It was the product of the golden age of Dutch bookmaking, and it is one of its greatest examples. The text is known in two issues. The most common being Latin with a parallel French translation and the rarer issue consisting of the same Latin but with the French text being replaced by one in Dutch. The commentary describes in an unscientific though complex method Seba's arrangement of the specimens in his museum. However, it is not the text that makes this work desireable, but the astonishing and numerous plates depiciting at natural size many thousands of individual natural history specimens contained in the collection. The first volume describes and illustrates various leaves, fruits, roots that have been dissected to illustrate their internal structure, strange and exotic plants, rare animals most notable being the winged species of dogs, cats, rats, mice, squirrels, beautiful birds from the East and West Indies together with their nests, exotic snakes, lizards, crocodiles, iguanas, chameleons, salamanders, rats, mice, toads and frogs. The second volume shows a variety of extraordinary snakes, adders, lizards together with their anatomical structure, collected from different parts of the world. Also included are descriptions of various fossils and exotic plants. The third volume deals primarily with marine treasures such as beautiful shells, conches, starfish, marine plants, corals, sea spiders, sea mosses. The final volume depicts rare insects gathered from all corners of the earth as well as many varieties of precious minerals and ores and petrified wood. Seba's early studies had given him a taste for natural history, and using the large fortune he had accumulated by his earlier travels he began collecting natural history specimens. He built a remarkable collection that became famous throughout Europe. Upon its merits, Seba was elected to membership in London's Royal Society, the Imperial Academy of Vienna, and other societies. In 1716, when Russia's Peter the Great [??—??] visited Amsterdam for a second time, he purchased the museum for the tremendous sum of 15,000 guilders and removed it to St. Petersburg, where it became the nucleus of a natural history collection in that city's academy of science. However, Seba could not contain his desire to collect, and so he embarked almost immediately on forming another collection, which by many accounts outshown his first effort within a few years. As an apothecary, Seba was among the first to board ships newly arrived from overseas to sell and dispense medicines to the sick and exhausted crews. During this time, he would enquire as to what curiosities they had brought back from their voyage, and many times this would allow Seba to make a quick purchase. Duplicate items were then resold to his fellow collectors for profit. Seba elected to perserve a memory of this collection for posterity and embarked after a time to prepare an elaborate illustrated catalog. Seba seems to have written the basic text for the first volumes of the Thesaurus in Dutch, but he died in 1736 before all the volumes had been completed. Thereafter many other authors would have a hand in the works completion. The most important of these were P. Artedi [1705—1735] who wrote the descriptions of the fishes, P. van Musschenbroek [1692— 1761] and H.D. Graubius [??-??]. Engel (1937) reproduces the agreement between Seba and the two firms of booksellers mentioned in the initial imprint and Landwehr (1976) provides a highly interesting translation of the original prospectus for the work. From these two researchers it can be said that Seba and the publishers were each to pay one third of the costs and after some concessions to Seba for providing the copy, they would equally share the profits. The work 1334 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &¿ History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Seba was published at 40 guilders a volume plain and 200 guilders colored. With Seba's death in 1736, and only two volumes thus far published and volume three only partialy complete, the work seemed destined never to be finished. Only through the attention of Seba's son— in— law, Van Ommeting was the work carried through. But in order to pay the remaining publication costs, Seba's fabulous museum which upto that time had remained intact had to be auctioned. This occured sixteen years after Seba's death on 14 April 1752 and subsequent days. The entire sale realized 24,440 guilders (Engel, 1961), more than enough money for the Thesuraus to be completed. Of mineralogical interest are plates 100—103 of volume four. Here are depicted over 100 mineral specimens, many of them fine examples and obviously the product of careful selection. They are mostly metallic species containing gold, silver, mercury, iron and copper. The golds came from Sumatra, Japan, Hungary, Borneo, Siam, Cuba, Ceylon and "New Spain." The silver and silver ores are listed as coming from Norway, Japan, Guinea, Germany, Siam, Hungary, Arabia and Virginia. As Wilson (1994) points out, "Despite its relatively small size and clearly subsidiary status amid his much vaster array of plant and animal remains, [Seba's] mineral collection was suprisingly sophisticated and broad— based in its range of localities."

Mit vorzüglicher Berück- sichtigung der nützlichen und schädlichen Naturkörper Deutschlands (1st ed., Hannover, 1844-53). This work by Senft represents the second edition of the mineralog- ical/geological portion. The first edition was prepared by Friedrich August Roemer in 1853. The first volume of this large work is a compre- hensive textbook on mineralogy, covering terminology, physical and chemical properties, crystallography, as well as a descriptive mineralogy of the most important mineral species. The text is fully illustrated with sev- eral hundred cuts showing mostly crystal diagrams. An index at the end provides a list of mineral species de- scribed in the text. The second volume covers all as- pects of geology and palaeontology. It is also very illus- trated with a comprehensive index to the text contained at the conclusion of the second part.

This finely illustrated work is the first published catalog of the celebrated Museo Kicheriano in the Jesuit Collegio Romano. The nucleus of the collection came in 1651 when the secretary of the Roman senate, Alfonso Donino [ —1651], bequeathed his collection of classical antiquities to the Collegio Romano. Kircher was appointed curator of the Donino collection, and he used the position to enlarge it with exotic items from Eygpt, the Far East and the Americas. Gradually mathematical instruments, other scientific instruments, models of Egyptian obelisks, musical instruments and hydraulic organs were added. Clocks, preserved examples of birds and animals, geological specimens and works of art all soon followed. During Kircher's many travels, he routinely sought out new material to add to the growing accumulation. An 1339 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &¿ History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Sestini additional productive source of material for the Museo Kircheriano was the network of Jesuit missionaries scattered throughout the world. They would regularly send back to Rome example of the native flora, fauna, minerals, and everyday tools. Soon the Musseum Kircherianum as the collection became known was the finest of its kind in the world. It was displayed in a hall in the Collegio in Rome. As material was added more space was acquired. Soon it became necessary for Kircher to hire several assistant custodians. Best known of these was Giorgio de Sepi, author of this first account of the museum. Its arrangement is in accordance with the physical outlay of the collection and it describes and illustrates Egyptian and classical artifacts, musical instruments, plants, grasses, insects, preserved animals and birds, some minerals and petrifications scientific instruments including early lighting devices. The remarkable engraved title page provides a unique view of the museum's interior at its greatest period. At intervals along the center of the long hall were free standing statuary and models of Egyptian obelisks, with shelving along one wall to accommodate pottery and other artifacts. Glass display cases held the smaller or fragile specimens along the opposite wall. Space above the cases was reserved for paintings, preserved animals, weapons, and scientific apparatus. The high ceiling was decorated with paintings of the constellations and the signs of the zodiac. A large Nile crocodile is also seen suspended, perhaps inspiring FERRANTE iMPERATO's own display. Near the hall's entrance, a human skeleton appears to great visitors. Several visitors are depicted with Kircher himself proudly showing off the collection. Other plates in the book illustrate the Sanskrit and Chinese alphabets, Eygyptian obelisks, various scientific principles, and mechanical apparatus. Text illustrations show a wide variety of animals, coins, a compass(?) and water wheel. REFERENCES: Bedini, S.A., "Cidtadels of learning.

It contained artificial and natural items from throughout Europe, plus a remarkable suite of specimens from Sicily. It was probably the southernmost Wunderkarnmer in Europe containing scientific instruments, optical devices, suites of armor, edged weapons and firearms, costumes, textiles, minerals and figured stones, natural history specimens, an important collection of coins and medals, sculptures and antiquities. Goethe was impressed by a visit in 1787 by the amber and ivory contained in the cabinet. The preface is signed Giovanni Mariti. There is some question as to which city this book was published. Some sources say Florence while others give Livorno.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Severgin undertook several journeys through European Russia. In 1802, Severgin made several extended trips to the Urals. In his Notes of a Journey through the Western Provinces of the Russian State he describes the mineral resources he encountered, including the minerals, mines, and refining and fabrication methods. He also describes other potential mineral deposits. The work was successful and in 1803 Severgin continued his travels, which were published as a Continuation and second volume of this book.

It was an alphabetically arranged mineralogical handbook listing all known minerals, their localities in Russia and elsewhere, their agricultural and industrial uses, and their identifying external, crystallographic and chemical features. It was also the first through account of crystallographic analysis in Russia recounting HaÜY's methods. In it Severgin emphasized the determinative value of crystalline forms, translated lengthy sections from Haüy's Traite, described the techniques of angular measurements and reproduced Haüy's complex charts of angular variations and crystalline forms.

After the two editions of Cleaveland, the next comprehensive mineralogical work published in America was Shepard's Treatise. Based partly on the plan of FREDERICK MOHS and partly on original research, this work treats mineralogy as a separate study in natural history. It is innovative in separating its subject from other topics formerly regarded as belonging to it and defining precisely the terms it applies to mineralogical science. The work is separated into five parts. Volume one contains the first four, while volume two holds the last part. Terminology, described in part one, is divided into 3 divisions. The first applying to simple minerals embraces the geometrical properties of minerals such as crystallography, cleavage, fracture, surface appearance and double refraction. The second division which refers to compound minerals, describes twin crystals, groups and géodes of crystals, imitative shapes of crystals, and pseudomorphs. Division three describes the properties common to both simple and compound minerals. These are divided into optical and physical. The former consists of luster, color and transparency while the later covers aggregation, hardness, specific gravity, magnetism, electricity, taste and odor. Special attention is given here to describing Mohs scale of hardness and its derivation because this property plays an important role in the Classification and Characteristic sections of the work described below. The second part covering Classification, describes the theoretical part of the science. It fixes the idea of species, and discusses the generalities of classification. After briefly explaining the differences between artificial and natural classification schemes, Shepard introduces his artificial method. Rooted in the principals of Mohs, it derives classes and orders as follows: "1. Minerals possessed of regular forms; 2. Minerals yielding regular forms only by cleavage; 3. Minerals destitute of regular forms, and not affording them by cleavage. The first may be termed the Crystallized class, the second the Semi— crystallized class, and the third the Uncrystallized class." The first two classes are divided into orders by their different systems of crystallization, or primary forms. The third is divided into three orders, depending upon if the contents are solid, liquid or gaseous. The arrangement of the species in each order is in a series according upon the property of hardness, unless the species is liquid or gaseous in which event the classifier is specific gravity. Part three describes the purpose of Nomenclature in mineralogy. It divides the subject into systematic and trivial components, and concludes that in mineralogy only a trivial nomenclature should be applied. This is because minerals do not propagate their kinds like living species and therefore, no systematic treatment of names could be used to distinguish the different minerals. Completing the first volume is part four the Characteristic. This section describes the properties that can be used to identify a specimen in hand and relate it back to the classification and ultimately it proper name. For example, is the mineral crystallized? Such a property is the characteristic of the class. Is the system of crystallization a cube? Such an observation finds the order. Determining the specimens hardness narrows it to usually two or three species. Finally, determining the specific gravity of the specimen theoretically provides the last trait needed to look up the aforementioned properties in the provided tables and determine the name of the species. An interesting feature of these tables is that all species thus far found in America are specifically marked. In 1835 was published the second part of the Treatise, bound in two volumes and containing the five part, Physiography. This is a descriptive mineralogy, with the species arranged alphabetically so as to be more useful for students employing Shepard's Characteristic to locate a detailed descriptions of specific minerals. In 1348 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &¿ History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft. [1200dpi] NOT FOR PUBLICATION Printed: January 24, 2007 Sherley addition, two tables are presented. The first outlines a natural history classification and the second presents a chemical scheme. The descriptions of the species are valuable for giving details of American localities, many of which the author had personally visited, and which have long since been exhausted. Numerous well executed figures mostly of crystals are scattered throughout the text, adding to the value of the work. This edition is rare in complete sets.

This is the second edition of the first part of the Treatise by Shepard published in 1832 with some additional information added to the table of the species. It also is the cause of some bibliographical confusion, because a portion of this edition was bound up with the slightly appended descriptive mineralogy of the first issues (1835). The author gives the following explanation for this occurrence: "In giving the characters of the species (p. 106 to the end), I have appended (within parentheses) to each, the most interesting information of various kinds, which has been brought forward since 1835, with a view to supply the principal deficiency which the use of the treatise might occasion to such as wish to employ it, in connection with my general work on descriptive mineralogy of that date." [Advertisement to the new edition of the Introduction]. Shepard has continued within this introduction to follow the principals of FREDERICK MOHS in relation to the determinations and arrangement of the minerals. This was a natural method of classification that many mineralogies had followed, including JAMES DwiGHT DANA in his System of Mineralogy, the second edition of which had been published a few months prior to Shepard's. However, the anonymous (Benjamin Silliman, Jr.?) review of Shepard's Treatise in the American Journal of Science takes the author to task for still adhering to this method and not adopting the seemingly more appropriate chemical scheme: "Chemical evidence has therefore with him no decisive weight, unless it is corroborative of natural history characters." The inability for Shepard to accept the chemical approach inevitably lead to his Treatise being overshadowed by other works.

First, there is a description of the terminology used in the science. Second comes the theoretical structure of the classification, while the third explains the objectives of the nomenclature used in the system. The fourth section derives the characteristics used to distinguish minerals within the theoretical framework, while the five explains the nature of physiography, or the actual placing of minerals into the system. The second part contains descriptions of the minerals arranged in the classification scheme outlined in part one of the Treatise. The descriptions are complemented by 725 fine drawings, mostly of crystals. Appendices at the end arrange the mineral names according to their chemistry and to the natural history method. Also of interest are descriptions of Shepard's mineralogical and meteoric collections. Part one of this volume was published in 1852, although no reference is made to this on the title page which lists 1857 as its published date. REFERENCES: Dana's 7th (Bibliography): 80.

Sherley (or Shirley) was the grandson of the adventurer Sir Thomas Shirley [1564-1630?]. He studied medicine in France, before returning to England where he quickly became a success. He became physician in ordinary to Charles II, and in 1675 was imprisioned by the House of Commons for appealing to the House of Lords against a member whom they had declared exempt from lawsuits during session.

All bodies are originally meer water, which by the means of the proper seeds is coagulated, condensed and brought into various forms. The seeds cause the praticles of water to be altered in both texture and shape, corresponding to the figure of the seed.

Written by command of Charles 11 who appointed Sibbald as his natural historian and geographer for Scotland (he was also his appointed physician), this is the first comprehensive work on the natural history of Scotland. The text is divided into sections covering the climate, geography, epidemiology and folk medicine, flora, fauna, and mineralogy, with historical and contemporary references relating to them. The first is a prodromus on the natural history of Scotland, with special attention paid to folk medicine. The second section describes the plants and horticulture of the region. Included is an alphabetical catalog of the plants contained in the botanical gardens of Edinburgh. Section three provides information on the native and domestic animals of Scotland, while the final section pertains to the mineralogy of the country. Included here are descriptions with location information of minerals used in medicine including earths, salts, sulphur, bitumen.

This work describes the natural history collection that Sir Robert Sibbald presented to the University of Edinburgh in 1697. Included in the gift were items inherited by Sibbald from Sir Andrew Balfour [see note below] in 1694. The text was prepared by Sibbald and published at the expense of the University. It is divided into four parts. The first (p. 19-72) covers stones, fossils, minerals, corals, metals, semi-metals, petrifications, etc. The second (p. 73-112) describes the plants, herbs, vegetables, etc. The third is split into two sections. The first of these (p. 113- 178) describes the common animals and shells, while the second (p. 179-198) provides information on the poisonous animals, such as snakes, various fish, lizards, etc. Finally, artificial creations (p. 199-216) are covered. Included in this part are coins, manuscripts and mostly books. Soon after the collection was donated it was entirely dissipated (Wilson). Andrew Balfour. (BORN: Balfour Castle, Denmiln, Fifeshire, Scotland, 18 January 1630; DIED: Edinburgh, Scotland, 10 January 1694) Scottish physician & botanist. Balfour was educated at St. Andrews and Oxford, finally receiving his M.D. from Caen in 1661. He practised medicine successively in London, St. Andrews, and Edinburgh. Together with Robert Sibbald he founded the Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh. He authored several titles on botanical subjects.

(BORN: Paterson, New Jersey, U.S.A., 15 May 1915; DlED: San Diego, California, U.S.A., 17 May 2002) American author, mineralogist & gemologist. Sinkankas was born to Lithuanian immigrant parents, who had come to America to escape the Tsarist regime. The famous traprock quarries in the vicinity of his hometown led to his youthful interest in minerals and eventually to a lifelong interest in mineralogy. In 1936, after graduation from college, he fulfilled a longtime desire to fly by enlisting in the U.S. Navy for flight training. His military career lasted until 1961 at which time he retired in the rank of Captain, U.S. Navy. However, at the end of World War II, Sinkankas began correspondence courses with the Gemological Institute of America. During this period through self- instruction he began faceting gems and writing numerous articles for various journals. This lead to his constructing specialized equipment to facet giant stones that are still among the very finest large gems ever created and are on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. In 1971, with his wife Marjorie, he founded and operates an antiquarian earth science book selling business named Peri Lithon Books after Theophrastus' treatise. Sinkankas has popularized mineralogy and gemology through numerous articles and important books (see: Gemology, an Annotated Bibliography for a complete list). In recognition of his numerous contributions, he has received many awards. The mineral "Sinkankasite" was named in his honor in 1985.

VERY SCARCE. The first complete and annotated bibliography in the field of gemology. Previous to this work, the bibliography of gemology was only done in piecemeal fashion. However, this master bibliography brings into one reference 7,458 entries related to gemology, printed in all Western languages, together with major works printed in other languages. Most entries are described completely, with critical notes about the historical significance of the author and their work. Coverage includes books, journals, articles, pamphlets, auction catalogs, technical documents of the United States and other governments, reprints, publicity booklets, sales catalogs and other documents that extend the knowledge of gemology. Fully annotated, the bibliography also contains extensive biographical information on both the famous and almost forgotten authors in the history of gemology. Many entries have a useful commentary on the quality and significance of the work. Complete descriptive bibliography information is provided for most entries, including title, collation, pagination, size, contents listing and known repositories. The library upon which this bibliography was largely based was acquired in 1988 by the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California. Because of the close relationship between gemology and mineralogy, Sinkankas' remarkable reference has frequently been cited in this Biobibliography and hence its happy inclusion, even though it was published well after the normal cut of date of 1920.

Made a mining carrier and worked as blabla in the the A and В ore-fields in Värmland, the province where he also was "bergmästare" until retiring 1889. Sjögren, like Igelström, was one of the pioneers in describing the minerals from the Långban type deposits, and published more than 20 articles on the subject.

In 1883, Sohncke accepted a similar position at the University of Jena, and in 1886 he became professor of physics at the Technische Hochschule in Munich, where he remained until his death. By several accounts, Sohncke was an outstanding teacher, who inspired his students in their studies. He was also interested in the flight of Arial balloons, and administrated a Munich society that encouraged this activity.

VERY SCARCE. A major contribution to crystallography was Entwicklung einer Theorie der Krystallstruktur, which derived the extension of the lattice theory of AUGUSTE BR.AVAISto arrive at sixty-five of the 230 possible space groups. The fourteen Bravais lattices described only seven of the possible thirty-two classes of external symmetry. Just how the chemical atoms were arranged within the unit cells formed by the space lattice remained a matter of speculation, however. In his studies of internal symmetry, Sohncke realized that previous investigators had looked upon internal symmetry from a completely external orientation. They had imposed, as a condition of their symmetry, translational equivalence, and Sohncke saw that this restriction was not justifiable. Inasmuch as symmetry is defined as the equivalence of internal configurations, it is of no consequence whether the direction of one's view has been altered in being transported from one point to another within an object. Thus Sohncke insisted that the view of the system of points is the same from every point and that it need not be a parallel view. Sohncke eventually arrived at sixty— six different spatial arrangements of points by introducing two new symmetry elements (this number was reduced in 1888 to 65 when two of the elements were shown to be equivalent). The first was the screw axis, in which a rotation around an axis is combined with a translation of the system along the axis. The second was the glide plane, in which the reflection in a mirror plane is combined with a similar translation without rotation along the axis. However, Sohncke failed to consider two additional symmetry elements of the thirty— two classes of external symmetry: rotation— reflection and rotation— inversion axes. Their inclusion by EVGRAF Stepanovich Fyodorov and almost simultaneously by Arthur. Schoenflies and William Barlow in the late 1880's added the additional 165 space groups, for the actual total of 230 space groups. It was Sohncke's work as published in Die Entwicklung einer Theorie der Krystallstruktur that placed these later researchers on the correct path.

(BORN: St. Peters- burg, Russia, 1788; DIED: St. Peterburg, Russia, 1 De- cember 1852) Russian geologist and mineralogist. After the death of his father in 1796, Sokolov was sent to the preparatory class of the St. Petersburg Mining School, from which he graduated in 1805. After graduation, he worked for a time as an assayer in the Academy's laboratory, and then he began giving lectures first in metallurgy and assaying and later in geognosy and mining. Soon, a position as a permenant instructor of the Academy was offered and accepted. Sokolov retained the job until 1841. From 1822 until 1844, he also held a professorship at the University of St. Petersburg. He was a founder and the first editor of the Gornyi Zhurnal (Mining Journal), which was one of the first specialized periodicals published in Russia. The principal geographical work Sokolov is remembered for relates to grouping the red stratigraphie beds of the Trans— Volga Region into its own independent system, which was named "Permian" in 1841 by Sir Roderick Murchison [1792—1871]. Sokolov was a founding member of the St. Petersburg MiNERALOGiCAL Society in 1817, and he was also elected to the Russian Academy of Science in 1839. References: DSB: 12, 513-5 [by V.V.

TRANSLATED TITLE: Handbook on mineralogy with additional statistical data on the most important salts and metals. VERY SCARCE. Sokolov's Handbook of Mineral- ogy is an important contribution to the chemical clas- sification of minerals. An early career as an assayer allowed Sokolov to view the classification problem of minerals in a new way. He was a strong advocate of the atomistic concept, and believed that the physical prop- erties of minerals depended upon the internal structure of the atoms. Therefore, Sokolov placed the primary importance for classification upon a mineral's chemical composition and classified minerals according to their cations. By grouping minerals with similar properties under this arrangement, he outlined in rough terms a natural ordering of atomic properties that foreshadowed Mendeleev's periodic system. Of secondary importance were the physical prop- erties of minerals. These, Sokolov correctly reasoned, were the manifestation of the chemical structure. Thus crystallography, color, luster, hardness, cleavage, etc. although mentioned throughout his classification are used primarily for the actual determination of the min- eral species rather than its placement within the sys- tem. For the time, this was a remarkable idea consider- ing natural history methods of classification were then predominant throughout Europe and America.

TRANSLATED TITLE: Supplement to mineralogy published in 1832. VERY SCARCE. This Supplement to Mineralogy was written to extend and update Sokolov's previous Handbook of Mineralogy (St. Petersburg, 1832). In this volume, Sokolov pointed out the similarity of the newly discovered mineral "Rhodizite" to the species boracite, and writes: "It is probable that ... magnesia has been partially replaced by lithia and that this is in agreement with its occurrence in lithium tourmaline, in one deposit with lithium mica" (Povarennykh).

The Roman Solinus compiled a geography about the third century. He initially called his first manuscript De Mirabilibus Mundi (The Wonders of the World). Later he changed the name to Collectanea. Rerum Memorabilium (Collection of Curiosities) that contains a broad description of the ancient world, with many remarks on the natural history, religion, and social issues of his time. Solinus does not name his sources, but the greater part of the text, which is arranged on a geographical plan, is mainly derived from Pliny's Natural History and the Choreographia (Geography) of Pomponius Mela. Solinus begins his work with a very valuable section that gives a description of the mythical prehistory of the establishment of the Roman Republic by Romulus after the Etruscan rulers were conquered. He continues the history to the time of Augustus. A 1361 Mineralogy &õ Crystallography: A Biobibliography &z History by Curtis P. Schuh, Tucson, AZ— Edit Draft.

Asia, Arabia, Egypt, Syria, the Near East, and India are also described. The author wanted to maintain the readers attention and therefore paid special attention to the peculiarities of the people and places discussed. Solinus peppers his commentary with anecdotal information about the land, animals, plants, and minerals of the various regions. Descriptions of several dozen precious stones, which come from Pliny, are interspersed throughout the work with placement under the countries where the stones are supposed to be found. Later, in the sixth century, these stones would be collected together again by Isidore of Seville for inclusion in Book XVI of his Etymologiae. A revised version of the original text appeared in the sixth century. This version includes at the start a letter purportedly from Solinus that acts as an introduction. In it, the work is awkwardly renamed Polyhistor seu de Mirabilibus Mundi (Multi-History of the Wonders of the World). Throughout the Middle Ages both versions of the text circulated widely and in some cases 'Polyhistor' was taken for the author's name. The broad sweep of its coverage made it a popular manual of its subject, and as a result the book had tremendous influence during the Middle Ages, being, for example, a principle source for Isidore of Seville. An important commentary on this work by Claude de Saumaise appeared in his PHnianae Exercitationes (1689). The best edition edited by Th. Mommsen was published in 1895; it contains a valuable introduction to the extant manuscripts, the authorities used by Solinus, and the subsequent compilers.

He developed an interest in mineralogy and geology, and began exploring in the 1770's the volcanic regions around Vivarais and Velay. In this work, he begins by developing the commonly held idea that most sedimentary formations were deposited by a gradually shrinking ocean, he then goes on to develop the principle of superposition, first outlined in 1669 by Steno. Soulavie then attempts to correlate the individual rock strata with the fossils they contain, arguing that the oldest layers must contain the most extinct species, while newer layers should contain analogs of living creatures. He attempts to work this chronology for the area around Vivarais. These observations are then expressed in geological maps of his own design.

From this relationship, Sowerby developed his principle publication, English Botany (36 vols., London, 1790-1813). Sowerby's memberships include the Geological Society, Royal Society and the Linnean Society all of London.

VERY SCARCE. British Mineralogy is most noted for its 550 engraved, hand— colored plates that depict the mineral wealth of Great Britain. Each plate is accompanied by descriptive letterpress that explains the pictured minerals in a casual style of someone who knew and appreciated minerals. Due to an earlier success with his English Botany (36 vols., London, 1790-1813; 2,592 hand colored plates), Sowerby was undoubtedly trying to continue his prosperity by issuing other illustrated works in the natural sciences. It was only proper that he should venture into mineralogy which had become a very popular pastime among the wealthier classes, and around 1791 most notably with Sowerby himself. So in 1802 Sowerby began to publish by subscription an illustrated topographical mineralogy of Great Britain. The product of this venture is British Mineralogy, which contains the largest number of plates and some of the finest examples of hand— colored mineral illustration ever produced. During the years of its publication the mines of England were producing ores from some of the most richly mineralized deposits yet discovered; subsequently, many notable mineral specimens, including several unsurpassed examples of some species, were discovered and preserved. Sowerby sought out these unusually fine specimens and together with more typical examples, described and illustrated them in British Mineralogy, thereby creating an illustrated collector's compendium of the minerals of Great Britain that has never been superceded. British Mineralogy was originally issued in 78 parts, called numbers, between 1802 and 1817. Conklin (1995) reproduces the sequence that these parts appeared. Periodically, after a sufficent number of plates had been produced (usually 100), the individual subscribers would have the volumes bound up to suit their tastes. As a result, this work, though most commonly found in five volumes, is also known in four and six volume sets, and in one copy, ten volumes, which split the text and plates into separate books.

As the title states, Exotic Mineralogy was intended to supplement Sowerby 's other great mineralogical work, British Mineralogy; however, perhaps due to a lack of interest in the mineralogy of localities outside Great Britain, there appear to have been far fewer subscribers to Exotic Mineralogy. The result is these two volumes are exceptionally rare. Exotic Mineralogy is chiefly noted for its engraved, hand— colored plates, which are among the most realistic mineral depictions ever produced by Sowerby. In preparing the illustrations for this work, Sowerby sought out the best examples of minerals not then known in Great Britain. Weighted by a high quality in the models, the plates in Exotic Mineralogy are overall more appealing than those of British Mineralogy, whose purpose was to depict examples of every known type of mineral found in Great Britain — not simply prime examples. Even though the plates of Exotic Mineralogy are numbered through 169, plate 73 was not always issued in section; therefore, a complete copy of the work contains only 168 plates. A note on the wrapper to the 13th section, which was to have contained the missing plate states, "It was intended to have published the Turquois in Tab. 73, but it has been found necessary to postpone that plate." In fact, plate 93 figuring turquois is the postponed plate with the seven clearly over— engraved into a nine in some printings.

In the first dissertation, entitled Saggio di osservazioni microscopiche concernenti il sistema delia generazione de' Signori di Needham e Buffon, Spallanzani disproved Buffon and Needham's claim that the microorganisms found in various plant and animal infusions were spontaneously generated from decomposed organic matter. Spallanzani brilliantly employed the same experimental method that Pasteur would use a century later: "In hundreds of experiments he tested various rituals for rendering infusions permanently barren and finally found that they remained free of microorganisms when put into flasks that were hermetically sealed and the contents boiled for one hour. The entrance of air into the flask through a slight crack in its neck was followed by proliferating infusoria. His masterful essay, dedicated to the Bologna Academy of Sciences . . . reported no spontaneous generation in strongly heated infusions protected from aerial contamination" (DSB).

Of considerable rarity this fascinating account of Spallanzani's journeys to southern Italy to investigate the recent intense volcanic and seismic activities. Spallanzani (1729-99), "was the first who applied experimental methods to the elucidation of volcanic rock- structure... His descriptions and observations of volcanic regions surpass in scientific accuracy and completeness all previous contributions of the kind, and have secured a permanent place in the literature of scientific travel." (Zittel) In the six volumes of the Travels to the Two Sicilie and in some you leave of the Appennino, Lazzaro Spallanzani offers a contribution of great relief to the development of the volcanology. To surveyings carried out directly on active voléanos of southern Italy (in particular in the Aeolian Islands and on the Etna) it places side by side to the analyses chemistries in laboratory and the tests of fusion on the collected champions. This will allow it, between the other, to interpret with exactitude the process of formation of the pomici. Edition originates them, dedicated to the conte of Wilzeck of this most important relation of the last great travels completed from the Spallanzani. In it the observations that it collected in its travels to the Vesúvio, to the Etna, the Lipari islands, to Stromboli and Messina, let alone to the Euganei Necks and on the modenese and reggiano Appennino are re-united all. The author demonstrates also to a being worth geologist and vulcanologo here. The sixth volume, printed in 1797 like appendix, s' intito it Pamphlets over various animals and contains eight monographys over species of rondini, the nocturnal bird called Strix Scops and over the eels of Comacchio. To notice beautiful and interesting the 11 tables outside text recorded in branch.

This book is of particular interest in the field of vulcanology as it is primarily concerned with the volcanoes of Sicily. "Lazzaro Spallanzani, distinguished eighteenth-century scientist, b. at Scadiano in Modena, Italy, 10 January, 1729; d. at Pavia, 12 February, 1799. His early education was received at the Jesuit College of Reggio. His scientific career began at the University of Bologna under the inspiration of his cousin, Laura Bassi, the famous woman professor of natural philosophy and mathematics. He gave up the study of law and was ordained a priest; at twenty-five he became professor of logic, metaphysics, and Greek in the University of Reggio. His favourite authors were Homer, Demosthenes, and St. Basil, and his work attracted so much attention that he was offered chairs at Coimbra (Portugal), Parrna, and Cesena (Italy). He preferred a chair at Modena (1760) and devoted all his spare time to natural science. His work here brought offers of professorships at other Italian universities and from the Academy of St. Petersburg. In 1768, at the personal solicitation of the Empress Maria Theresa, he accepted the chair of natural history in the University of Pavia which was then being reorganized. He greatly enriched the museum here by collections made in journeys in Switzerland and along the Mediterranean. After the death of Vallisneri, whose chair at Padua had been the centre of interest in the natural sciences, Spallanzani was invited to take it, but the Austrian authorities doubled his salary and gave him a long leave of absence for a scientific expedition to Turkey to retain him. His home-coming was an ovation. He continued to make scientific journeys and special studies of Vesuvius and the volcanoes of Sicily and of the Lipari Islands. His contributions to every phase of physical science are valuable, but it was in biology that his work counted for most; his studies in regeneration are still classic." 4491. 1812: Travels in the Two Sicilies and some Parts of the Apennines ...

(Born: Worcester, England, 7 July 1870; DlED: London, England, 14 April 1959) English mineralogist. Spencer had studied chemistry at the Royal College of Science in Dublin. He thereafter attended Cambridge where in his final year he won the Harkness Scholarship for the best paper in geology of his year. His ambition had been to join the Geological Survey of India; however, no post was available. Therefore, Spencer applied for and was accepted into a vacant mineralogist position at the British Museum (Natural History) that had occurred with the death of Thomas Davies [1837-1892]. He remained with the British Museum the remainder of his working career, retiring finally in 1935. However, even in advanced age, he remained an active participant in geological and mineralogical activities. Notable among these was his adventure in 1934 at the age of 64 to investigate with P.A. Clayton the then unexplained deposit of almost pure natural silica glass in the Libyan Desert — this substance called "Libyan Glass" is now known to be of exterrestial origin. He was a longtime editor of the important mineralogical journals, Mineralogical Magazine and Mineralogical Abstracts. It is recorded that Spencer was active on his bibliographical work until a few days before his death. He was one of the best mineralogists 1372 Mineralogy &z.

"The text of this book on minerals is in the main descriptive of the 116 species of the more common simple minerals, which are illustrated by 163 figures on the colored-plates. Descriptions of a few other important species have been added. Technical terms are explained in the preliminary chapters; their use, however, has been avoided as far as possible, and an attempt has been made-to present in popular language an interesting and readable account of the several kinds of minerals. Points of general interest are touched upon, and attention is drawn to such of the more prominent characters as will help the student and collector of minerals to identify his own specimens. Mention is also made of the various practical applications of minerals, their importance as ores of the metals, as precious stones, etc." "The forty colored-plates have been prepared under the supervision of Dr. Hans Lenk, Professor of Mineralogy and Geology in the University of Erlangen, and many of the pictures represent actual specimens belonging to the mineral collection under his charge." — Preface.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia. Imperatorskoe Mineralogicheskoe Obshchestvo. (Imperial Mineralogical Society) Founded in 1817 by V.M. Severgin and D.I. Sokolov [qq.v.], among others. As stated in its first charter, the Society was begun to investigate mineralogy in the broadest sense of the science. It sought to disseminate knowledge concerning minerals, rocks and ores. It was an important organization in the Russian empire and did a great deal to promote and inves- tigate the mineral and geological wealth of Russia and its dominions. One of its most important publication outside of its journals was Materialy dlia. Geologii Rossii (28 vols., St. Petersburg, 1869-1928), which was part of the effort the Society made in conducting a systematic geological survey of Russia from 1864 to 1882. After the organization of the Geological Committee in 1882, the Society began to devote more attention to theoretical research in geology and mineralogy. E.S. Fy- dorov [q.v.] and his crystallographic research was partic- ularly important during the period. In 1919, the Soci- ety was reorganized as the Vserossiïskoe Mineralogicheskoe Obshchestvo (Russian Mineralogical Society), and in 1947 it was renamed Vsesoiuznoe Mineralogicheskoe Obshchestvo (All— Union Mineralogical Society). A collection of minerals was begun which for a time was placed on exhibit, but eventually it was given to the Mining Institute. REFERENCES: Gerasimov, A.

He was physician to the Dukes of Weimar, appointed by Duke Johann Ernst of Sachsen- Weimar. Frederick III, elector of Brandenburg, founded the University of Halle in 1694 in an effort to surpass his neighbors.

Stainpies matriculated at the University of Vienna in April, 1476, gaining his medical degree in 1488 and his licence to practice medicine on 23 September 1490. He became professor of medicine at the Vienna Medical School, and between 1496 and 1510 he was eight times elected Dean of the medical faculty. By 1510 he was one of the senior doctors at the medical school. In the plague year of 1511, Stainpeis criticized colleages who fled the city, and was called before a committee investigating this slander. After his refusal to appear, Stainpeis' faculty priviledges were revoked. He wrote several medical tracts, the last of which is considered the first printed introduction to the study of medicine.

VERY RARE. Published anonymously, authorship of this interesting and rare lapidary is now generally attributed to Martin Stainpeis. The work is also undated, but is thought to have been printed after the year 1500, probably around 1510. The text is divided into two parts. The first containing the introductory material is composed of 13 chapters (Adams says 12 chapters). At the outset the author states that the purpose of this work is "first to give such information concerning the various minerals as will enable them to be recognized, and second to set forth their origin, virtues and properties" (Adams, 1938). A general description of the particular virtues and properties is explained in the first part of the book. Included are chapters on how the properties manifest themselves, how a weak virtue may be strengthened and the differences between the mystical powers of natural and artificial stones. Throughout, the author denounces those who believe gems do not possess heavenly powers as ignorant fools. He supports this argument by reminding the reader that great authorities such as Aristotle and Plato recognized these qualities as inherent to a stones existence. The second part of the text is a descriptive list of 117 stones in alphabetical order. Under each name there is a commentary about the individual properties and virtues attributed to the stone. This commentary is largely based upon the writings of Albertus Magnus, Pliny, Evax, Avicenna and Serapion. In fact, many of the notes are copied directly from Albertus Magnus, although some stories of anecdotal nature are also interspersed.

The compilation is made from a praise worthy compactness, with thoroughness and a true critical circumspection. Above all else one finds interspersed through out the volumes highly interesting and important comments. No mineralogist's library should lack this publication. At the end of volume four, with its own title page is a supplement. Due to its appearance over 14 years this is a rare work in complete sets.

(BORN: Fabriano, Italy, 12 or 29 January 1577; DIED: Fabriano, Italy, 20 November 1646) Italian naturalist & poet. Stelluti was born to a patrician family of Fabriano, which intended that he study law. For this purpose he was sent to Rome towards the end of the sixteenth century. In Rome, Stelluti became friends with Federico Cesi and Johannes Eck, with whom they founded the Accademia dei Lincei in August 1603. His pseudonym at the academy was Tardigradus, and he took as his symbol the planet Saturn. In 1604 Stelluti was forced to retreat to his native Fabriano, due to increasing hostile attacks towards the secret brotherhood of the the Lincei. After a period of quiet, the Academy was revived, and Stelluti returned to Rome in 1608 or 1609. After initially rejecting Galileo's Sidereus Nuncius (Rome, 1610), Stelluti was eventually won over by the theory, and a sustained correspondance began between the two. Their relationship grew to such a bond that Stelluti wrote introductory verses for Galileo's other works, Istoria e Dimostrazioni Intorno alle Macchie Solari (Rome, 16??) and II Saggiatore (Rome, 16??). In 1625, Stelluti made the first microscopic observations to be published, perhaps with an insturment supplied by Galileo. The volume that appeared was titled, Pérsio Tradotto in Verso Sciolto (Rome, 1630), and shows in the illustrations various insects and their anatomy at different magnification.

Friedrich // Stengel, • Leipziger allgemeines STENO, Nicolaus. (BORN: Copenhagen, Denmark, 10 January 1631; DIED: Schwerin, Mecklenburg, Germany, 25 November 1687) Danish physician & theologian. Steno (or non— Latinized Stensen) attended the University of Copenhagen from 1656 to 1660. He then went on to Amsterdam, but received an M.D. in absentia from the University of Leiden in 1664. Steno became professor of anatomy at the University of Padua in Italy. He was also appointed house physician to Grand Duke Ferdinand II of Tuscany. During this decade, the greater part of Steno's available time was taken up by his studies of human anatomy, geology and catholism. This is also the period when his greatest contributions to science were written. In 1672, he returned for a time to Denmark, but came back to Italy in 1674. Ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic Church in 1675, Steno devoted the remainder of his life to the church in a progression of appointments. Steno ended his life as a bishop in Numster, Germany. A skilled anatomist and dissector Steno was the first to show the role of the parotid gland in the production of saliva. He also studied the structure of muscles and sinews, and applied mechanical laws to the principal of muscular contraction.

The greatest contribution to crystallogra- phy, paleontology and geology made during the sev- enteenth century was Steno's De Solido Intra Solidum Naturaliter. Within this volume, intended as an intro- duction to a much larger never published work, Steno while studying quartz observes for the first time the fundamental crystallographic law of constancy of inter- facial angles, which was confirmed and generalized over a century later with the invention in 1783 of the con- tact goniometer by Arnould Carangeot [see note below]. Steno was also the first to recognize the principle of superposition that states sedimentary rocks were origi- nally laid down horizontally, while non— horizontally re- sults from strata being deformed by later forces. As an integral concept within this principle, the author real- ized that the oldest strata were the first to be formed and that overlying stratum must have been deposited at later times. If this were not enough "firsts" for one book, the Prodromus was also important in the history of paleontology, as it was among the earliest publica- tions to attribute fossils to be the petrified remnants of animals and plants. The plate was originally created as a large double plate, half engraved and half printed. However, due to its large size it is common to find it bound into the book as two plates. Arnould Carangeot.

RARE. Translation probably completed by Henry Oldenburg [see note below] of De Solido Intra Solvm Natvraliter Contento Dissertationis Prodromvs (1st ed., Florentiae, 1669). As valuable as Steno's contributions were to the development of the earth sciences, they likely would have gone unrecognized in England had the book not caught the attention of ROBERT BOYLE. He was most likely instrumental in persuading Oldenburg to prepare this translation of the Prodromus. The translator in his notes "To The Reader" first explains the circumstances for producing this translation. He then "publickly attests" that the honorable Robert Boyle in a manuscript about gems and other precious stones has written that the reason for their transparency was they were once fluid. That opaque gems and other medical stones are derived from earths. Oldenburg's narrative then closes with his testament to others researching science: "... several judicious persons do employ themselves in the inquiry after the observables in the greater parts of the world ... for the discovery of the works of God and the operations of nature." This introduction is then followed by a detailed table of contents that acts as an index to the text. The translation of the text follows the structure of the original Latin edition. Please note that while all early editions of Steno's Prodromous are rare, this 1671 English translation appears to be much rarer. Uncommonly, this translation is also found bound up at the end of Boyle's Essay about the Origine and Virtues of Gems (1st ed., London, 1672), implying that the publisher had a difficult time selling Steno's work by itself. This is further driven home by the fact that the title page of another Boyle work, Essays of the Strange Subtility. Determinate Nature. Great Efficacy of Effluviums ... to which is added The Prodromus to a Dissertation concerning Solids Naturally contained within Solids (London, 1673) specifically calls for the inclusion of the Steno translation within the book, but only a handful of copies of this combination are known to exist. Henry Oldenburg. (BORN: Bremen, Germay, cl618; DIED: Charlton, near Greenwich, England, 5 September 1677) English scientist. Oldenburg graduated from the University of Utrecht in 1641, and he matriculated at Oxford from 1657 to 1658. He taught in the Paedogogium of Bremen. Later he became a professor in the newly established University of Dorpat, in what is now Estonia. Although it is known that Oldenburg matriculated in the University of Utrecht in 1641, nothing is known with assurance about what he did during the following twelve years, but there is presumptive evidence that he was a tutor during these years. In 1656 he became tutor to Boyle's nephew, Richard Jones, later the third Viscount Ranelagh and first Earl of Ranelagh. Oldenburg made a profession of scientific administration. He founded a system of records in the Royal Society that is still followed, created an international correspondence of scientists, and founded the first scientific journal, The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Oldenburg began publishing in 1665 the Philosophical Transactions, which were his personal enterprise, to make money, although he never made as much as he hoped. He also translated papers for the London Gazette. He also translated and published works from abroad. He translated at least two of Boyle's works into Latin, and he appears to have functioned effectively as the publisher for a number of Boyle's works. References: NUC: 567, 389-91 [NS 0906801].

This work was published as The University of Michigan Studies. Humanistic Series. Contributions to the History of Science, 11, part 2, and is today almost as difficult as the first English translation of 1671 to obtain. The work begins with a forward by William Hobbs [see note below] describing the scientific age in which Steno wrote the Prodromus. The significant contributions made by this work to the sciences of crystallography, geology and palaeontology are recounted by Hobbs. The introduction written by Winter then gives an overview of Steno's life, a list of his other writings, and a bibliography of the editions and the translations of the Prodromous. The introduction closes with a list of selected references. The body of the translation is then persented. Winter has added explanatory notes to highlight historic or scientific aspects of the text. A general index closes the work. Scattered through out the text are the plates. These break down as two showing Steno's portrait, one being a color facscimile of the title page of the original Latin edition, one depicting the "tastefully designed headpiece and initial letter," and the last three reproducing the figures of the original plate.

From 1941 to 1947, he was a professor of geology at Ohio State University, where upon he went to the University of Illinois, becoming head of the geology department, retiring in 1965. He specialized in glacial and groundwater geology, as well as the history of geology. He is remembered fondly by his many students. References: NUC: 567, 389-91 [NS 0906800].

VERY SCARCE. William Fitton [see note below] arranged to have this volume published as a lasting tribute to the author. It contains observations that were to form the basis of a major topographical mineralogy, but due to Stephan's untimely death, the larger work providing a mineralogical survey of the mountainous district around Dublin never appeared. Fitton records in the preface that "The substance of the greater part of the following observations has already appeared, in the first volume of the Transactions of the Geological Society."

A relatively unknown colored mineralogy with somewhat crude though recognizable mineral depictions of many species. The text describes and illustrates various animals and minerals recognized in the medical science of the nineteenth century. Included are descriptions of many vemonous creatures and minerals from which medical preparations were derived. It was writen as a companion to the author's previous work describing medical botany. The illustrations that accompany the text appear to be original and not copied from some other work. 4536. 2nd edition, 1838: Medical Zoology, | And | Mineralogy; | Or | Illustrations And Descriptions | Of The | Animals And Minerals Employed In Medicine, | And Of The | Preparations Derived From Them: | Including Also | An Account of Animal and Mineral Poisons: | With Figures Coloured From Nature. | By | John Stephenson, M.D. F.L.S. | [ornament] | London: | John Churchill, Princes Street, Soho. | MDCCCXXXVIII. 8°: J: 3 B-2E 8 X 1 ; 178/.; [i]-vi, [l]-350 p., frontispiece (hand-colored), 45 plates (44 hand-colored).

(Born: Leipzig, Germany, 16 February 1724; DIED: Leipzig, Germany, 4 May 1772) German lawyer & mineral collector. Stieglitz was educated at the University of Leipzig, obtaining an advanced degree in jurisprudence. He held several high positions in the city government of Leipzig. In 1754 he married Christiane Richter, daughter of Johann Christoph Richter, the founder of the "Museum Richterianurn" in Leipzig, described and illustrated by Hebenstreit in 1754. In 1765 Christian and his two younger brothers were appointed "Nobles of the Empire" in Bohemia. They had a son of the same name [1756-1836], who became a prominent art historian and architectural archeologist. REFERENCES: Wilson, History of Mineral Collecting, 1994: 96-8.

Particularly no- table among the minerals pictured are wire silvers and calcites from the mines of Saxony, as well as the first illustration of native iron from Disco Island, Greenland. Freisleben (1828) records that the engravings and color- ing were prepared by a miniaturist painter by the name of Morino. The text is occupied with descriptions of the specific specimens, which is written in both German and Latin. Unfortunately, this work is among the rari- est of all hand— colored mineralogies, with only a very few copies known. Stieglitz's collection must have been one of the better known during the eighteenth century. Cronst- edt makes note of it, and Werner records in his arti- cle on collections, "Von den verschiednerley Mineralien- sammlungen, aus denen ein vollständiges Mineralienk- abinett bestehen soll" [See: Sammlungen zur Physik und Naturgeschichte: 1 (1778), 387-420], that "In the Stieglitz collection ... the Fossils were placed ... ac- cording to their respective countries, which were not however disposed in the best geographical Order ... It contained no specimens of the different Rocks; and the Fossils of each land, province or mining district, were arranged methodically ... according to the Earth's, Stones, Metals, &¿c." (Hailstone, 1792). Unfortu- nately, the only record of its contents exist in this splen- did hand— colored mineralogy and the collection catalog listed below.
