xvi BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 



and by P. Lauio, Vcnetia, 1549. 8vo. A French translation by 

 Anthoine Pierre was issued at Poictiers in 1543 in folio ; and it was 

 translated into English by the Rev. T. Owen and published in 

 London in 1805, with the title "Geoponika. As^ricultural pursuits." 

 It is improbable that this Greek manuscript was known in 

 Western Europe when the Flemish " Boecxken " (see pp. 35-7) was 

 compiled, but whether or no the contents of the latter are altogether 

 different and show an independent origin. Ever since writing was 

 invented fishermen all the world over have no doubt made notes of 

 their favourite baits.]
