-- Le jardin du roy tres chrestien Louis XIIII, 
roy de France et de Kavere d6di4 a la royne mere de sa 
Majesty. Paris, P. Mariette [16-?] 95 pi* F®. 
(Lib. Cong•) 
This is possibly the same edition as one de¬ 
scribed by Wheldon & Wesley, Cat*, n*s. 39, no* 
931: "Third edition* The original coppers had 
passed into the possession of Mariette iwho, in 
his turn, again altered the lettering of the en¬ 
graved title to admit the name of Louis XIV* In 
this issue the plates were numbered and the let¬ 
terpress omitted*" Wheldon & T^’esley furthermore 
state that the 93 plates are numbered 1-89, 91- 
93, 90 being misprinted as 69* This is not the 
case with the Lib* Cong* copy, which appears to 
be numbered consecutively 1-93* A careful com¬ 
parison with the edition of 1608 shows that the 
Lib* Cong* copy has all the original 73 plates, 
together with 20 additional ones, probably rep¬ 
resenting recently introduced plants* 
Another copy with the same title quoted by M* 
Nijhoff, List Nr* CLI, item 146, may be like the 
above* It is said to be the "Very scarce third 
edition, unknown to Robert-Diane sni 1," and is de¬ 
scribed as having "Title-page in cartouche and 
93 plates of flowers*" Nijhoff gives its date 
as "about 1630," which would be impossible with 
the name of Louis XIV in the title, as he did not 
come to the throne until 1643* No edition by P* 
Mariette could have been prior to that date, 
though we cannot tell how many times it may have 
been reissued subsequently*
