[VALLOT] Manuscrit du cours de Minéralogie, [1800]

Handwritten course on Mineralogy.
A note at the end of the document tells us that the course was taken under dictation by Vallot in the year 9. At that date Jacques-Nicolas Vallot (1771-1860) was a professor of natural sciences at the central school of Dijon. A naturalist, he touched on all sorts of subjects: botany, zoology, mineralogy, antiquities...
Vallot reviews the different minerals and gives their main characteristics: jasper, chalcedony, gold, petroleum, carbonates, etc.
