  • An Exploration of Georgius Agricola's Natural Philosophy in De Re Metallica
    Mining Metals, Mining Minds: An Exploration of Georgius Agricola’s Natural Philosophy in De re metallica (1556) By Hillary Taylor Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History January 31, 2021 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: William Caferro, Ph.D. Lauren R. Clay, Ph.D. Laura Stark, Ph.D. Elsa Filosa, Ph.D. Francesca Trivellato, Ph.D. For my parents, Jim and Lisa ii Acknowledgements I have benefitted from the generosity of many individuals in my odyssey to complete this dissertation. My sincerest thanks go to Professor William Caferro who showed me how to call up documents at the Archivio di Stato in Florence, taught me Italian paleography, read each chapter, and provided thoughtful feedback. It has been a blessing working closely with a scholar who is as great as he is at doing history. I have certainly learned by his example, watching as he spends his own time reading, translating, writing, and editing. I have attempted to emulate his productivity, and I know that I would not have finished the ultimate academic enterprise without his guidance. Professor Caferro pruned my prose without bruising my ego, too badly. I must also extend my warmest thanks to the other members of my committee, Professor Lauren Clay, Professor Laura Stark, Professor Elsa Filosa, and Professor Francesca Trivellato. I am also grateful to Professor Monique O’Connell, my undergraduate advisor at Wake Forest University. Monique was the first to introduce me to the historiographical complexities of Italian history and intellectual thought.

The fellowship supports advanced research related to all aspects of space history, leading to publications on the history of space technology broadly considered, including cultural and intellectual history, institutional history, economic history, history of law and public policy, and history of engineering and management. In 2017 SHOT, the History of Science Society (HSS), and the American Historical Association (AHA) brought their NASA Fellowship Committees together. Each society continues to award a NASA Fellowship, but a committee consisting of one member from each organization will determine the winners of the three fellowships. Angelina Callahan, Naval Research Laboratory – committee member on behalf of SHOT Kranzberg Dissertation Fellowship This award is in memory of the co-founder of the Society, and honors Melvin Kranzberg’s many contributions to developing the history of technology as a field of scholarly endeavor and SHOT as a professional organization.

    DIBNER HALL of the HIS TORY OF SCIENCE Media Contacts: Susan Turner-Lowe, [email protected], 626-405-2147 Matt Stevens, [email protected], 626-405-2167 THE HUNTINGTON ’S HISTORY OF SCIENCE COLLECTIONS The acquisition of the Burndy Library substantially expanded The Huntington Library’s holdings in the field of the history of science and technology, making it one of the most extensive collections in this field in the world. The gift included some 67,000 rare books and reference volumes as well as a collection of scientific instruments. The Burndy Library, founded by Ukrainian-born and Connecticut-based inventor and industrialist Bern Dibner (1897–1988), is the largest library collection to come to The Huntington since Henry E. Huntington’s founding gift to the institution in 1919. Huntington created his independent research library by collecting whole libraries intact. The Burndy collection, however, dwarfs even those that Huntington was able to acquire and preserve in their entirety. Moreover, it is the nature of the Burndy Library that sets it apart: the Library consists of an extensive collection in the history of science and technology, with a strong focus on the physical sciences. It comprises important materials from antiquity to the 20th century, with a particular emphasis on 18th- century physics, including collections by and about Isaac Newton, as well as major collections in 18th- and 19th-century mathematics, the history of electricity, civil and structural engineering, optics and color theory, among others. The collection includes such rare treasures as a 1544 edition of Archimedes’ Philosophi ac Geometrae, a first edition of Robert Boyle’s Experiments and notes about the mechanical origin or production of electricity (1675), and the scientific library of Louis Pasteur (1822–1895).
