Eiusden De animantibus Subterraneis Liber, ab Autore recofnitus: cum Indicibus diversis, quicquid in opere tractatum est, puchre demostrantibus, ...Basel: (Hieronymus Frobern and Nicolaus Bischoff), 1561. Folio. Later hf. calf over marbled‑paper boards (front hinge weak but holding). (x, 502, lxxii pp.). Complete with 273 wooodcuts including title‑vign., verso of colophon, a fold. plate, and chapter headings in good clean impression. Title‑page and prelim pages III‑VI replaced whilst pp. VII‑X have marginal repairs without loss of text, otherwise an excellent clean copy bearing occassional contemp. manuscript notes in the margins. A very good copy of the scarce second edition. NOTE: The “first systematic treatise on mining and metallurgy and one of the first technological books of modern times” (PMM). It is remarkably richly illustrated with technical woodcuts of the highest quality, largely by Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch (after Blasius Weffring). All of them are based on Agricola’s drawings of processes and phenomena he personally observed. The work “embraces everything connected with the mining industry and mettalurgical processes, including administration, prospecting, the

2

duties of officials and companies and the manufacture of glass, sulphur and alum. The magnificent series of two hundred and seventy three large woodcut illustrations add to its value. Some of the most important sections are those on mechanical engineering and the use of water power, hauling pumps, ventilation, blowing of furnaces, transport of ores etc., showing a very elaborate technique” (PMM). It is “one of the great monuments of technology by reason of the comprehensiveness of its text and the detail and intelligibility of its numerous illustrations” (Singer, Vol. II, p. 27), and became “the early standard treatise” on the subject (Horblit, 2b). It is also one of the important contributions to physcial geology, in particular the influence of wind and water erosion on landscape and its clear account of the order of strata exposed by mines. The work concludes with a 20 page glossary of technical terms and names in Latin and German which contains a new scientific classification of minerals based on their physical properties; the mode of occurence and mutual relation of some 80 mineral ores are discussed, no less than 21 of them for the first time. Written over two decades, the work illustrated Bauer’s familiarity both wth the technical and financial aspects of mining as well as his concern for the health of the miners. Bauer had studied medicine at Leipzig before moving to the important mining centre of Joachimstal (in latter‑day Czechoslovakia) as the town physician. There, Bauer observed both by day and by night the unceasing activities of the mines, “and his interests were aroused by the metallurgical, mineralogical and chemical problems of the trade. He published several books relating to these, the above is outstanding in the field of all science and technology; it was published posthumously. Many large woodcuts present vivid picturesof men at work, machines pumping, ventilating, smelting, assaying, transportation, and hoisting equipment and methods of the time” (Dibner, Heralds of Science, 88). The work was translated into English in 1912 by Herbert Hoover, afterwards President of the United States. $20,000

Volume I autographed with the exceptional significant inscription “To Sir George Reid, with warm recollections of great help afforded to the expedition, from Douglas Mawson, 1st March 1915” (Sir George Reid was Prime Minister of Australia in 1904‑1905, and subsequently Australia’s first High Commissioner in Britain); Volume II bears the signatures of seven of Mawson’s family members, being two of his children (Patricia M.

NOTE: This account, so profusely illustrated by the magnificent photographs of Frank Hurley is a classic of Polar literature, describing the first major scientific exploring venture by an Australian beyond their shores. Mawson’s lone survival after the fatal tragedy of his two companions (Ninnis and Mertz) was to become the most extraordinary epic of survival in Antarctica. He was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding explorers of the 20th century and ranks high among our national icons. So much so that it is his portrait that adorns our original $100 bill. $5,500
