You are right. Sorry. Probably a ransom demanded for receiving something
"free of charge"!...I have no leverage, nor was able to find a way out.

Nice to hear from you again. Nice also to see that you do not confine
yourself to highbrow materials!...

Auguri! J.J.

Doesn't matter, it's only one plate out of 40! And there are other nice
pictures on that site, including Agricola's De Re Metallica
scanned figures!

Well, I have the book, actually...

Not at all! You should see my collection of old and out-of-print books ;-)
Today, with eBay and on-line antiquarian booksellers, we have many
occasions of spending too much money in these things!
Pity our students and younger colleagues too often prefer just to push a
button...
