Synopsis
Créer un langage technique : tel fut le défi à relever par Agricola, un médecin et humaniste saxon de la Renaissance, lorsqu'il voulut rédiger le premier traité technique complet concernant la métallurgie extractive, activité qui faisait alors la richesse de l'Etat saxon. En effet, on ne peut rédiger un texte technique sans utiliser un langage technique. Cette étude nous fait découvrir les méthodes linguistiques et iconographiques forgées par Agricola pour son De re metallica, un ouvrage qu'utilisèrent les exploitants miniers à travers toute l'Europe jusqu'à la Révolution industrielle.

Series: De Diversis Artibus: Collection de Travaux de l'Academie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences, Tom. 75, N.S. 38. 8vo. 519 pp. 53 illustrations, bibliography, index. Printed boards. Near fine. ISBN: 250352365X M.-C. Deprez-Masson, "by courageously taking up the examination of a considerable work, has added to an immense bibliography a title which offers a new reading of one of the texts the most famous in the history of technology. / It is through this notion of utility that the work of M.-C. Deprez-Masson opens a new field of reflection and the vision which imposes itself on the reader places the work of Agricola in its context, from two manners. The first clearly defines the position of a humanist, who addresses the honest man, reading Latin, ready to invest in a booming sector of industrial enterprise: Agricola, office man, at the unlike a metal practitioner like Biringuccio, gives him the benefit of long experience of prospecting and field visits in his native region, Saxony, and transmits him technical information which eventually allows him to work with metal specialists. the mine and the foundry. Agricola achieves this by mastering logical rules of demonstration, by the quality of written expression, by the systematic use of images incorporated into the text: he names, describes and represents at the same time, offering the reader chapter after chapter. chapter the chronological order in which an operator is confronted with a series of operations, from ore prospecting to metal production. How can we explain the fortune of this treatise, republished and translated for more than two centuries, if it had not been the first and only one to create an industrial inscribing the knowledge of mining and metallurgy at the level of the grammar of the universe sciences company? The first merit of M.-C. Deprez-Masson's book is to have given an answer to the question raised by intellectual investment, during his life entire, of a scientist who himself became a mining operator, in a cutting-edge sector of the market economy. / A second contribution is no less remarkable: the book sheds convincing light on the scientific biography of the author by placing the De re metallica in the whole of a work and in the perspective which could have been that of a doctor, nourished by ancient authors and anxious, if possible, to complete Aristotle. M.C. Deprez Masson emphasizes the fact that De re metallica was not the crowning achievement of a long enterprise; the traditional error is to forget that Agricola intended to complete two other works, one on mining law, the other on the medicinal use of metals. / Reviewed by Philippe Braunstein.
