Giovanni Battista Agnello

Giovanni Battista Agnello (fl. 1560–1577) was a Venetian alchemist working in London in the 1560s and 1570s. He was the author of the second book in Italian printed in England, ''Espositione sopra vn libro intitolato Apocalypsis spiritus secreti''. He was also the first to declare that the ore brought back by Martin Frobisher from Baffin Island contained gold.
==Arrival in England==
Agnello described himself on the title page of a published work in 1566 as 'Giovanbatista Agnello Venetiano'; however the date of his arrival in England from his native Venice is unknown. According to Castells, he was among a number of 'Protestant men of learning who came to London as a result of the Reformation'.〔(Castells, Justin V., "Frozen assets: Science, natural philosophy, and the quest for arctic gold" (2009). Graduate School Theses and Dissertations, pp. 35–45 ) Retrieved 9 November 2013.〕 Some sources state that he was the 'J.B. Agnelli' authorized to import gold bullion for use in English coinage from 1547 to 1549.〔(Campbell, James Stuart, 'The Alchemical Patronage of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley', PhD thesis, Victoria University of Wellington, 2009, pp. 120–6 ) Retrieved 9 November 2013.〕 However Jones states that Agnello did not arrive in England until 1569. According to Harkness, he lived in the parish of St Helen's Bishopsgate, and operated a 'dangerous blast furnace' there. What is known with certainty is that Agnello was recommended to Sir William Cecil by Jean de Ferrieres (1520–1586), the Vidame of Chartres,〔(Jean II de Ferrières, vidame de Chartres et seigneur de Maligny (1520–1586) ) Retrieved 11 November 2013.〕〔The translator Richard Eden was for many years in the Vidame's service; .〕 who on 4 November 1569 wrote to Cecil from Holborn commending Agnello as 'a man of honest and industry'. With his letter, the Vidame sent Cecil a copy of Agnello's book, saying that he wished it had been printed on cleaner paper, 'but that of dusky hue best suits the works of Vulcanicorum hominum'.〔('Elizabeth: November 1569', ''Calendar of State Papers Foreign, Elizabeth'', Volume 9: 1569–1571 (1874), pp. 140–147 ) Retrieved 9 November 2013.〕
Shortly after this, Agnello suggested a plan to Queen Elizabeth I to make lead testons and to remedy the 'scarcity of pence, half pence, and other small coins'.〔('Elizabeth: Miscellaneous, 1559', ''Calendar of State Papers Foreign, Elizabeth'', Volume 9: 1569–1571 (1874), pp. 160–164 ) Retrieved 9 November 2013.〕
