this title as derived from that of the 1658 edi¬ 
tion of the ^Instruction," brought them together 
under Vautier, altho it seems more than probable 
that the "Traite” was not by the author of the 
other work# Seroy, indeed, in the little cata¬ 
logue of his publications appended to "Le jardi- 
nier royal" of Guillaxime Cardinal (Paris, 1677), 
lists the "Trait^^as anonymous# 
—-— Paris, 1684# (Bib# Soc# Nat# Hort# France) 
Cat# Bib# Soc# Nat# Hort# Franco (1900), p.47, 
enters this under title, like the edition of 1658, 
but without additional data. Cat. Bib. Nat# 4: 
372, however, may throw some light on the issue# 
Following the entry for "La manidre de cultiver 
les arbres fruitiers ... Ensemble 1’Instruction 
pour les arbres fruitiers, par M.R.T.P.D.S.M.", 
of Paris, 1671, is another edition, presumably 
of the same combination of works, entered under 
"1684# — Paris, N# Le Gras#" Further light on 
this is given by the entry in Cat# Bib# Decaisne 
(1883), no#394, which has note: "Extrait commen- 
9 ant a la page 131 et finissant a la page 238, et 
precbdd d'un avis du libraire#"

(1918), shows that this is a translation of "In¬ 
struction potir les arbres fruitiers," first pub¬ 
lished Paris, 1653, and generally attributed to 
Robert Triquet (or Rene Triquel), prieur de St#- 
Marc, which was really the work of Francois Vau¬ 
tier, physician to Louis XIV, posthximously pub¬ 
lished under the editorship of Triquet#
