First edition of the English translation and adaptation of an important work by one of the foremost metallurgists of the 17th century. The first part is the first English adaption of the celebrated practical manual on mining and metals by Lazarus Ercker ca. 1530-1594 Bohemian metallurgist courier for mining affairs under Emperor Maximilian II and under Rudolf II he was assay master of the mint in Prague. Ecker's work was first published in 1574 and went through several subsequent editions 8th ed. 1672 was retitled Aula subterranea alias Probierbuch. Pettus translated and adapted Ecker's original work. The title Pettus chose for the work Fleta Minor hinted to his imprisonment in the Fleet having fought for Charles I in the Civil War. The illustrations to the work were re-drawn on copper after Ercker's original woodcuts but all workmen were put into contemporary English costume. The second part also is of great importance as it is the first edition of the first English dictionary of mining terms.Sir John Pettus 1613-1690 was an English royalist politician and natural philosopher. Pettus was an expert on metallurgy and became a deputy governor of the royal mines in England and Wales under Charles I and II. He is known for the first English translation of the work of the German metallurgist Lazarus Ercker.With the large book plate of R.C.

It was highly prized in its time and remained an important technical book for over 200 years because of its precise data concerning the fusion processes of gold silver copper tin iron lead and mercury. "Ercker described laboratory procedures and equipment gave an account of preparing the cupel of constructing furnaces and of the assaying balance and the method of operating it. He used as his model Agricola's De re Metallica yet he was quite original and included on the procedures he himself had tested." -DSB IV 393.

Its detailed approach has made it a key reference in the history of science and technology and its practical focus contributed to the economic development of mining regions. "Ercker's treatise is the most authoritative contemporary work on 16th-century metallurgy and assaying. Ercker gave a systematic review of methods of testing alloys and minerals and of obtaining and refining various metals as well as methods of manufacturing acids salts and other chemical compounds including saltpeter. He described the apparatus and laboratory equipment used in metallurgy and assaying and gave a detailed account of laboratory methods all of which he himself had used." Norman "Erker's Beschreibung may be regarded as the first manual of analytical and metallurgical chemistry. The only one of Ercker’s works to contain many drawings it presents a systematic review of the methods of testing alloys and minerals of silver gold copper antimony mercury bismuth and lead; of obtaining and refining these metals as well as of obtaining acids salts and other compounds. The last chapter is devoted to saltpeter. Ercker's account of the fact that zinc precipitates other metals from solutions is to be found only in the 1684 and later editions" DSB. “Considering the importance of Ercker’s tratise it is remarkable how little is on record about him. He was inspector-general of the mine of Hungary Transylvania and the Tyrol which position he held under three consecutive emperors in the sixteenth century. He book was highly prized at the time for it was a record of practical experiences and was not burdened with theories and hypotheses. Ferguson. Ferguson 1 244.

16732270Lyon, chez Daniel Gayet & Jacques Faeton, 1673. 2 Tomes reliés en un volume, COMPLET. In-4 - 18 x 23,5 cm. Reliure d’époque en pleine basane havane, dos à 4 nerfs orné de riches caissons dorés, tranches mouchetées. 8 ff, 400 pp, 8 ff, 4 ff, 273 pp (+ 1 pl dépliante et les pages 183* à 189*), 5 ff, 53 pp, 6 ff (+ 1 grande pl. dépliante), 12 pp, 4 ff, 23 pl. Exemplaire bien complet de sa grande planche dépliante représentant le système veineux mais également d’une autre planche dépliante d’anatomie (squelette et détails) et, in fine, de 23 planches hors-texte ornées de 202 figures de botanique. Exemplaire enrichi, par rapport à l’édition de 1671, d’un cahier de 4 pp. (183*-189*) contenant l’explication des 27 figures gravées sur la planche d’anatomie (squelette).La thérapeutique de Guyon est « typiquement celle de son époque », alliant toutefois aux remèdes de la médecine dogmatique ceux de la médecine spagyrique. « Elle embrasse toutes les maladies possibles, des plus graves aux plus bénignes, de l'impuissance à l'énurésie, englobant même de simples disgrâces esthétiques (« pour faire tomber le poil là où il est indécent d'en avoir », « pour blanchir le teint gâté par l'ardeur du soleil », « pour redurcir les mamelles mollasses et flasques », etc.). Bref, l'ouvrage se présente, selon le mot de Liliane Pariente, « comme un traité de médecine, de chirurgie, d'hygiène et comme un manuel de conseils d'esthétique ». Où, de surcroît, se manifeste çà et là une touche de ce sentiment humain si étranger au médecin de Molière. » (cf Pierre Julien pour la réédition de 1987).

The earliest illustrated work on metallurgy in English. The first part is Pettus' translation of Lazarus Ercker's work on mining and metals. Ercker 1530-1594 Inspector General of Mines in the Austro-Hungarian Empire who first published his study in 1574 discusses lab procedures equipment and how to construct furnaces. Sir John Pettus of Suffolk Kt. of the Society for the Mines Royal 1613-1690 was deputy Governor of the royal mines for over 35 years. His lexicography of metals is the first dictionary of metalurgy and metals in English. Pettus fell into debt and finished this work in the Fleet debtors' prison - hence the odd title Fleta Minor. 43 large engravings illustrate the equipment and procedures being described with workmen wearing contemporary English costume.
