BERGBUCHLEIN, The Little Book On Ores is an English translation of the first mining text printed, published between 1505 and 1518 in Germany. This historic text with its original woodcut illustrations and references to alchemy and astrology is a charming account of the early views on mining, metallurgy, and ore origination.
