Second edition, and distinctly scarcer than the first, of Agricola's first scientific work, a herald of his De re metallica. It is based on his experiences as physician to the town of Joachimstal (now Jachymov in the Czech Republic), at the time an important mining area. It is written in the form of a dialogue between Laurentius Bermannus, a miner after whom this treatise is named, Bartholomaeus Bacchus and two doctors, Nicolaus Ancon and Joannes Naevius. In it appear the names of many minerals, including bismuth and basalt, first named by him and now universally adopted. This edition not in Adams.
