Today (March 24, 1494) is the birthday of the father of mineralogy, the German scientist of Georgius Agricola.

 

Georgius Agricola was born on March 24, 1494, in Germany. The name Georgius Agricola is the Latin form of his native name "Church Boyer". From 1514 to 1518 he studied classical literature, philosophy and linguistics at the University of Leipzig. He then formed his name in the Latin form, as was the custom of the time. From 1518 to 1522 he studied Latin and Greek at a school called Suvica. He then returned to Ilepsik and began studying medicine. But due to the theological battles that took place there, the university could not continue and he could not continue to do so. He was a devout Catholic and arrived in Italy in 1523 in good condition. There he studied medicine, natural sciences and philosophy in Balochistan and Padua. He completed his medical laboratory studies in Venice.

 

He worked for two years at the Aldine Press in Venice and produced a collection of medical books by Callen. It was published in 1525. He collaborated with Thomas Moore and his secretary, San Clement, on this task. He must have been fascinated by Moore's "Utopia". This helped him to study law and social customs while he was in the Saxon mining district. He met Erasmus, the great scholar of physiology, and became his friend. Erasmus inspired Agricola to write several books. He published many of Erasmus' novels. Erasmus wrote the foreword to Hermanus, Agricola's book on mineralogy. Agricola, along with three other scholars, received this accolade only.

 Newsflicks on Twitter: "Georgius Agricola, who presented the first  scientific classification of minerals, was born on Mar 24, 1494… "

He returned to Saxon in 1526 and worked as a city physiotherapist in Joachimstall from 1527 to 1533. The city is located in one of the most metallic mining districts in Europe. He went to various mines and smelters throughout the district to discover new drugs from the minerals and got acquainted with well-educated miners. Learned all the texts written by the old novelist of mineralogy. This habit helped to shape his later life and writings. This knowledge can be seen blazing in the writings of Hermanus and Sivetri Metalia.

In his book, you will find many references to the diseases of the mining industry. He became a city physiotherapist in 1532 and became a city physiotherapist in 1532. He authored several books, including 12 volumes on Trimethalia (mineralogy, metallurgy, geophysics), ten volumes on the dinosaur Fossilium (on mineralogy), and 5 volumes on the Diorduet Kallis subdivision (on geophysics).

 

He began his public life at the age of 52 as a burqa (city councillor). Chemnitz later rose to become the Burgomaster (mayor). Herbert Heaver (later President of the United States of America), an American mining engineer, translated his novel Trimetalia in 1912. In his book, he praises Agricola as the pioneer who invented the methodological approach to science. Agricola, a pioneer of natural sciences, passed away on November 21, 1555, in Germany.
