Originally published in 1556, Agricola's De Re Metallica was the first book on mining to be based on field research and observation -what today would be called the “scientific approach.” It was therefore the first book to offer detailed technical drawings to illustrate the various specialized techniques of the many branches of mining, and the first to provide a realistic history of mining from antiquity to its day.
