Sažetak
In his commentary to Dioscorides, the famous physician and botanist Peter Andrew Mattioli (11500-1577) describes the mining of mercury in the mine of Idria and mentions also the effects of chronic poisoning which appears among the miners and workers as gingivitis, loss of teeth and trembling. Although the miners applied preventive measures, such as stoppling the nostrils and covering the mouth, rarely a miner or worker supported this labour longer than four years.
