Herrera, Gabriel Alonzo de

Obra de agricultura copilada de diverses auctores, de
mandado del muy illustre y reverendissimo Señor el cardenal 
de España arcobispo [Francisco Ximenez] de Toledo.
[Alcala de Henares, por Arnao Guillen de Brocar, 1513]
clxxviii ff. F°. (Arn. Arb.)
B. Anton Ramirez, "Diccionario de bibliografía 
agronómica" (Madrid, 1865, p.16-18) treats
Herrera at some length, describing in full the
edition sponsored by the Real sociedad económica 
matritense in 1818-19, and that of Madrid,
1620. He appends a list of all known editions,
giving the name of the printer for most of them,
but no other bibliographical details. In the following 
list the imprint is taken from Anton Ramirez 
for editions which have not been checked, also 
for others located in libraries which do not
give it. In those cases where the library entry
gives only the supposed publisher, as differing
from that of the printer given by Anton Ramirez,
the latter has been used in our entry, and the
former added in a note.
Anton Ramirez says the title of the original
edition, "Obra de agricultura", continued to be
used till 1605, when it was changed to "Libro de
agricultura", and again in 1620 to "Agricultura
general". As a matter of fact several editions
between 1539 and 1605 have title "Libro de agricultura", 
tho it is possible that others which
have not been checked may have title like that
of the first edition. (MFW)

----- Toledo, 1520. (Haller, 1:248; not seen by Anton
Ramirez; assumed as 1st ed. by Rothamsted Cat., p.270)
According to Haller this must be under title:
"Libro de agricultura", tho Anton Ramirez infers
it to be that of the previous and next editions.
