  • This article examines miners’ understanding of mineral resources in the early modern Venetian mainland. It draws on a copy of a late sixteenth-century chronicle of the Tretto uplands (Vicenza) that recounts the discovery of silver ores by a German necromancer who guided miners to rich metal deposits. By unpacking the layered narrative of the chronicle, the article explores miners’ use of the terms “blossom” (“fiorire”) and “prophecy” (“profezia”). These concepts shed light on the imaginative and economic dimensions of resource landscapes and articulate human-nature relationships in ways that did not always align with the objectives of resource managers.
