Nota di contenuto | Protogaea -- Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Protogaea -- I. Preamble -- II. The first formation of the earth through fire -- III. Different opinions concerning the creation of the globe -- IV. Sea salt, fires, and cycles of precipitation -- V. The many changes in our globe after its initial creation -- VI. What was the source of the water that covered the earth? And where did it go? -- VII. Bructerus and the origin of springs -- VIII. Deposits of metal in the earth and a description of veins -- IX. The generation of minerals explained through chemistry -- X. Products common to laboratories and mines -- XI. The generation of precious stones, natural and artificial -- XII. Natural sublimations and the preparation of sal ammoniac -- XIII. It is through fire that metals appear in their proper forms -- XIV. Some bodies owe their form to the movement of waters -- XV. Some bodies coalesce in the waters -- XVI. Kinds of tuff stone formed by dripping water -- XVII. Some things arise from the combined action of heat and water -- XVIII. Where do the shapes of various fish imprinted on slates come from? -- XIX. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and other things show that there is fire inside our globe -- XX. The forms of fish imprinted on slate come from real fish, and are not games of nature -- XXI. The different layers of the earth, their locations, and the origin of salts and salt waters -- XXII. The origin of mountains and hills explained through waters, winds, and earthquakes -- XXIII. Marine shells are found throughout our region and elsewhere -- XXIV. The various kinds of shells were not created inside the stone, as is evident from their forms and positions -- XXV. The excavated shells and bones of marine animals can be identified as the parts of real animals -- XXVI. In ancient times, nearby seas contained animals and shellfish that are no longer found there -- XXVII. Glossopetrae, asterias, trochites, etc., are the remains of marine animals, and not games of nature -- XXVIII. But it is wrong to include the polygonal shapes that can be found in crystals among these -- XXIX. In which a certain lazy ingenuity, which invents things alien to truth, is rejected -- XXX. Where can the Lüneburg glossopetrae be found? -- XXXI. Glossopetrae are sharks' teeth -- XXXII. The medical use of glossopetrae -- XXXIII. Belemnites, osteocolla, shell-filled stones, and fossil ivory -- XXXIV. Bones, jaws, skulls, and teeth found in our region -- XXXV. The unicorn's horn, and an enormous animal unearthed in Quedlinburg -- XXXVI. Sharzfeld Cave and the bones that have been found in it -- XXXVII. The Baumann Cave and its contents -- XXXVIII. On the nature of amber, especially the kind found in our region -- XXXIX. Changes wrought by rivers and the vestiges of upheavals in our region -- XL. The struggle between sea and land -- XLI. Sea and marsh once covered Venice and Este -- XLII. The marvelous fountains of Modena -- XLIII. How Modena's fountains are produced -- XLIV. The layers of earth in Rosdorf, near Göttingen -- XLV. On buried trees and petrified wood -- XLVI. Peat and its origin -- XLVII. On trees buried underground -- XLVIII. The layers of earth observed while digging a well in Amsterdam -- Appendix: Text from Friedrich Lachmund's Oryktographia Hildesheimensis (1669) -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index |
