redo, 1733) (Dept. Agr.; Brit. Mus.) 
- Roveredo, 1733. (Graesse, 4:362; Lastri, p.79) 
Inasmuch as the 1731 ed. is with Trinci 1733, 
it may be there is no Mandirola of latter date.

- [French] Nouveau traite pour la culture des 
fleurs, qui enseigne la manifere de les cultiver, multipli¬ 
er, & les conserver selon leurs especes: avec leurs pro- 
prietez merveilleuses, & les vertus medecinales. Paris, 
C. de Sercy, 1674. 199 p. (Mass. Hort. Soc.; Brit. 
Mus.; Bib. Nat. Paris; LindleyLib.) 
Published without name of author, and usually 
credited to Pierre Morin, sometimes listed under 
title. Barbier, Diet. Ouvr. Anon. 3:523, says 
the author’s name is in the privilege; in fact 
the ’’Extrait du privilege du Roy” (verso p.l99) 
permits Charles de Sercy to publish ”Deux livres 
de jardinages”, apparently including the "Nouveau 
trait^”, and reprint the "Abreg^ des bons fruits 
[of Jean Merlet] & les Remarques necessaires pour 
la culture des fleurs, par le sieur Morin”. This 
had the effect of crediting everything to Morin, 
and altho this attribution has been questioned by 
some, the fact that the book was translated from 
an older work has been overlooked, save possibly 
by a few curious students, as indicated by a MS. 
note in a copy of Andry’s later French version of 
Mandirola owned by the Dept, of Agriculture. 
The "Nouveau trait^” comprises the 1st and 2d 
books of Mandirola, with the 4th, on properties, 
which are distributed and follow the description 
and culture of each plant. The 3d book, "Agrumi”, 
was translated and issued separately with title: 
"Instruction facile, pour connoistre toutes sor- 
tes d’orangers et citronniers" (Paris, 1674 et 
seq.), q.v. (MFW)
