Uollet, Claude (cont.) 
Wheldon & Wesley, Ulus. Cat. (n.s.) 6, no, 95 * 
(1923)* advertise a MS of I60 leaves and "First 
impressions of the beautiful suite of 22 pieces 
by Claude, Andre, Jacques, and Noel Mollet", to 
which is tentatively assigned the date I630, tho 
Gibault, Jour. Soc, Nat. Hort, France ( 1905 )» p* 
720, says the work was written as early as I6I0 
to 1615* Bouchard-Huzard, p. 971 » says the plates 
are signed by the three sons, Andr^, Jacques and 
Noel, and one infers that the text itself was by 
Claude, altho not published till after his death. 
Neither Bouchard-Huzard nor Gibault gives the 
modified title under which the later, and accord¬ 
ing to Gibault "very inferior" editions were is¬ 
sued; but it is probably correctly quoted by So- 
guier, p,382, as given in the following entry, 
which is precisely like that of the I678 issue. 
It omits the word "plans", substituting phrases 
suggesting a work on general gardening, whereas 
Bouchard-Huzard says the text is that of the 1 st 
ed,, only the plates and dedication to Fouquet 
being omitted in the later ones. (MFW)
