Woodcut from De Re Metallica. The distillation of quicksilver (refining). Georgius Agricola (March 24, 1494 - November 21, 1555) was a German scholar and scientist, known as "the father of mineralogy". In 1556 he published his book De Re Metallica, a treatise on mining and extractive metallurgy, with woodcuts illustrating processes to extract ores from the ground and metal from the ore, and the many uses of water mills in mining. He described and illustrated how ore veins occur in and on the ground, making the work an early contribution to the developing science of geology. He described prospecting for ore veins and surveying in great detail, as well as washing the ores to collect the heavier valuable minerals, such as gold and tin. It was also an important chemistry text for the period and is significant in the history of chemistry. De re metallica is considered a classic document of Renaissance metallurgy, unsurpassed for two centuries.
