SUMMARY. — In his research about the nature of metals and the origin of their ores, Agricola reacts against the earlier writers. He adds quicksilver, antimony and bismuth to the six metals of Aristotle and modifies the distinctive properties of the metallic bodies. He criticizes the Aristotelian theory of the twofold exhalation and explains the metals as frozen juices (succi), compound of earth and water. He also rejects the alchemistical ideas of Avicenna, Ibn Juljul, Albertus Magnus and the Bergbüchlein. His criticism of Aristotle was not universally accepted by his contemporaries, but his attacks against alchemy were successful.RÉSUMÉ. — Comment les idées d'Agricola sur la nature des métaux et leur origine réagissent-elles contre les thé...
