The gift edition "The First Foundations of Metallurgy or Ore Mining" with an engraved portrait of Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov on the cover is not just a book, but a cultural and scientific artifact, referring to the origins of Russian scientific thought. The luxurious genuine leather binding is decorated with embossed lettering and a voluminous bas-relief made in gold metal. The cream-colored paper, which gently rustles when flipping, gives reading a special tactile pleasure. The edition was recreated from the original, which was first received by the Academic Bookstore in October 1763 with a circulation of 1,183 copies.
In this work, Lomonosov was the first to systematize knowledge about metallurgy, ore mining and the construction of mines, laying the foundation for engineering geology and mining. Of particular value to the book are the chapters written on the basis of observations of the inner layers of the earth and the movement of air in mines, collected from commentaries to scientific works of that era. Each page is a documentary evidence of the scientific progress of the XVIII century, full of clear logic, encyclopedic accuracy and the spirit of enlightenment.
The book is intended for collectors, scientists, hereditary engineers, historians of science and anyone who truly appreciates the contribution of Russian thought to world science. They don't present it as an ordinary gift — they express respect for it, they are proud of it. Such a publication is appropriate on the desk of the head of a metallurgical company, the rector of a technical university, or in the private library of a connoisseur of the Russian scientific tradition.
