Dedication signed; M. Le Maistre. 
Gibault, Jour. Soc. Nat. Hort. France (1905)t 
p.74l» mentions this work without author’s neuae. 
Seguier, p.378» enters under "Maistre, Matthaeus 
1©. typographus", but gives title as; "Le procbs 
du melon, b Mr. du Laurens, conseiller & premier 
m^decin du Roy". According to Gibault, l.c., it 
represents a mock-trial of a melon charged with 
the crime of Ibse-majeste in causing indigestion 
to Henri IV. The use of the name Du Laurens for 
the doctor-advocate conducting the trial, might 
have been in allusion to AndrI du Laurens (1558" 
l609). who actually was physician to the King, 
and wrote some medical treatises; but the Cat. 
Bib. Nat. does not indicate that he had anything 
to do with this work, which is probably a pure 
fiction. (MFW)
