Belon, Pierre (1517-1564)

De arboribus coniferis, resiniferis, aliis quoque nonnullis 
sempiterna fronde virentibus, cum earundem iconibus 
ad vivum expressis. Parisiis, apud Gulielmum Cavellat,
1553. 8 p.l., 32 1. (Brit. Mus.; Crerar; Surg. Gen.
Lib.; Brooklyn Bot. Gard.; Bib. Nat. Paris)

The three editions of this work are probably
practically identical, as all have same paging
and differ only in the name of the printer. The
ed. of G. Cavellat is also given in Cat. Bib. Le
Mans (Sci. & Arts, 1879), p.202; and the Prévost
ed. is quoted in Cat. Bib. Burette (1748) 1:181,
and Bib. Hulthemiana, 1:473.

-----  Parisiis, in bibliotheca Egidy Corrozet, 1553.
8 p.l., 32 1. (Dept. Agr.; Brit. Mus.)

-----  Parisiis, apud, Bened. Prévost, 1553, viii,
32 ff. (Bib. Nat. Paris; Brit. Mus.)

Remonstrances sur le défault de labour, & culture des
plantes, & de la connoissance d'icelles, contenant la
manière d'affranchir & apprivoiser les arbres sauvages.
Paris, Guillaume Cavèlat, 1558. (Seguier, Bib. Bot.
p.340; Boehmer, Bib. Script. Hist. Nat. 3(1):671; Brit.
Mus.)

Above title as given by Seguier is precisely
followed by the Brit. Mus. Cat., but as the latter 
does not give either the printer’s name or 
the paging, it is not certain which edition is
meant. Moreover, it has two copies which may be
by different publishers. In view of the three
nearly identical issues of the "De arboribus coniferis"
by as many printers, it seems probable
that this ed. is practically identical with that
of Corrozet in Bib. Nat. Paris, and it is even
possible that there are still other issues of
this work, altho it is exceedingly rare.
