La Q^intinie, Jean de (1626-1688) 
For bibliographical and biographical informaticn 
see the following; Gibault, Jour. Soc. Nat. Hort. 
France (4) 6:722-723 (1905); Bunyard, Jour. Pomol. 
1:37-40 (1919), which gives derivation of Oosten’s 
"Dutch gardener" from work of La Quintinie and dis¬ 
cusses the appended tract, "L’art de tailler les 
arbres fruitiers" of Venette, found in many of -ftie 
later eds. of La Q,uintinie; W. Roberts, "London and 
Wise", Gard. Chron. (3) 11:361-362 (1892), with in¬ 
formation on eds. and translations; Dupetit-Thouars, 
in Michaud, Biographic Universelle. Nouv. ed. 34; 
665-669; Der Teutsche Obstgartner, 11:357-360 (1799) 
"Reflexions sur 1’agriculture" and "Traite de la culture 
des orangers" appear in the "Instruction” in all eds., the 
"Reflexions" being paged separately (65 p.) only in the 1695 
ed.; and both are considered authentic works of La Quinti¬ 
nie. The "Traite de la culture des orangers" besides being in¬ 
cluded in all French editions of La Quintinie, and in the Eng¬ 
lish translations beginning with Evd.yn’s "Compleat gard’ner" 
in 1693, was also used as the basis of Van Oosten’s section 
on citrus in his "Die nieuwe nederlandse bloemhof" (Leyden, 
1700). This Dutch treatise was successively rendered into 
English in Van Oosten’s "The Dutch gardener" (London, 1703); 
into German in his "Der niederlMndische garten" (Hannover 
und Wolffenbtittel, 1706); and translated back into French 
in his "Le jardin de Hollande" (Leide, 1714), appearing 
practically unchanged in the various editions of this work. 
Other works with no indication of authorship have beai 
printed with the "Instruction". "Nouvelle instruction pour 
la culture des fleurs" (q.v.), considered anonymous and 
first included in the 1695 ed., has separate paging (140 p.) 
in eds. of 1695, 1697, and 1700, later being paged consecu¬ 
tively. 
"L’art ou la maniSre particuliere & seure de tailler fles 
arbres fruitiers" (1699), derived from the work of similar 
title by Nicolas Venette (q.v.), is separately paged in the 
1697 ed. of La Quintinie’s book, consecutively in eds. of 
1716, 1739, and 1756. It contains "Dictionnaire des termes 
dont se servent les jardiniers, pour s’exprimer en parlait 
des arbres fruitiers" which was brought out on.title page 
of later eds.
