‎---- Les deux ouvrages sont en EDITIONS ORIGINALES ---- RARES ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE relié en plein velin souple de l'époque, tranches dorées ---- FIRST EDITIONS OF TWO INTERESTING WORKS by the astrologer/physician Mizauld who is well-known for his association with Oronce Fine and for his works on medicine, astronomy and astrology. In the FIRST BOOK the author treats of the garden, its site, soil and moisture; of manures; of sowing and planting; hoeing, weeding and watering; of all the pests of a garden (insects, worms, mice, moles, frogs, toads, scorpions, snakes); of protection against hail, hoarfrost and lightning, blasting and mildew; vegetables and flowers; fruit trees. Like his other works this one displays the author's learning, but it shows that he had some practical familiarity with the subject". (Ferguson "Bibliographical notes on Histories of inventions and books of secrets" part IV p. 5) ---- "In the SECOND WORK Mizauld treats on plant grafting and with a section on plant nutrition" ---- Caillet III - Durling 3195**3715/ARM2A‎
