Cooke, Samuel

The compleat English gardener, or, Gardening made
perfectly easy: containing full and plain directions
for the proper management of the flower, fruit and
kitchen gardens, for every month in the year ... To
which is added: The complete beemaster. London,
Printed for J. Cooke, 1769. 156. (Dept. Agr.)

-----  London [1780?] (Brit. Mus.)

Copland, William (fl.1556-1569)

"The craft of graffing and planting of trees"
(1560), is noted by J. C. Bay in his account of
the library of Chester H. Thordarson of Chicago,
Papers Bib. Soc. Amer., v.21. pt.1 (1930). No
author is mentioned, Copland being, of course,
the printer; but he may be also the compiler or
translator of the work, which I suspect to be
derived from an earlier French source. (MFW)

Cordus, Valerius (1515-1544)

In hoc volumine continentur Valerii Cordi Simesusii
Annotationes in Pedacii Dioscoridis Anazarbei de materia
medica libros V ... Item Conradi Gesneri De hortis Germaniae 
liber recens uná cum descriptione tulipae Turcarum 
etc. [Argentorati, excudebat I. Rihelius] 1561.
301 ff. F°. (Arn. Arb.; Bib. Nat. Paris; Greene;
Mo. Bot. Gard.; Surg. Gen. Lib.)

Peculiarly important in history of gardening
because Gesner's "De hortis Germaniae" forms a
comprehensive record of plants then cultivated.

Theologiae vitis viniferae libri tres ... editi studio
M. Abrahamo Sculteti. Heidelbergae, impensis J. Rosae,
