Abstract

This paper is an appreciation of the life and work of Georgius Bauer, Agricola, on his 500th birthday, concentrating on his most famous work, De re metallica. The importance of this work to modern archaeometallurgy is assessed, together with an overview of the Renaissance world of intellectual curiosity and enquiry in which Agricola was a leading figure.
