APPENDIX A. 599 



BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 



For the following we have mainly to thank Miss Kathleen Schlesinger, who has been 

 employed many months in following up every clue, and although the results display 

 very considerable literary activity on the part of the author, they do not by any means 

 indicate Miss Schlesinger's labours. Agricola's works were many of them published at 

 various times in combination, and therefore to set out the title and the publication of each 

 work separately would involve much repetition of titles, and we consequently give the titles 

 of the various volumes arranged according to dates. For instance, De Natura Fossilium, De 

 Ortu el Causis, De Veieribu'i et Novis Meiallis, De Natura eorum quae Effluunt ex Terra, and 

 Inierpretatio have always been published together, and the Latin and Italian editions of 

 these works always include Bermannus as well. Moreover, the Latin De Re Metallica of 

 1657 includes all of these works. 



We mark with an asterisk the titles to editions which we have been able to authen- 

 ticate by various means from actual books. Those unmarked are editions which we are 

 satisfied do exist, but the titles of which are possibly incomplete, as they are taken from 

 library catalogues, etc. Other editions to which we find reference and of which we are not 

 certain are noted separately in the discussion later on.^
