| 520 | _a"Mine Pumping in Agricola's Time and Later" by Robert P. Multhauf is a scholarly historical account written in the mid-20th century. This book delves into the development and evolution of mine-pumping technologies from the time of the renowned mining engineer Georgius Agricola through subsequent centuries. It seeks to illuminate the often-overlooked advancements in mining machinery, particularly during the Renaissance and beyond, addressing common misconceptions about the stagnation of mining techniques during this period. In this work, Multhauf explores the technological innovations in mining, focusing on various types of pumps and their mechanical operations as described by Agricola in his seminal work, "De re metallica". He provides an in-depth analysis of early pumping devices like the Stangenkunst, a crank-driven piston pump, and discusses the impact of financial and societal changes on mining practices. The book also examines numismatic evidence, showcasing how detailed mining landscapes on 16th-century coins reflect the prominence of mining activities and the machinery used at that time. Through a combination of historical documentation and critical analysis, Multhauf argues that there were significant developments in mining technology that challenge the notion of stagnation in the field after Agricola’s time.
