Venuto, Antonio 
De agricultxara opusculum. In Napole, per Sigismondo 
Mayer, 1516# (Haller, 1:245; Lastri, p,132; Niccoli, 
p.47; Savastano, p.107) 
Savastano, Ann. R. Staz. Sper. Agroinic. e 
Fruttic. Acireale (1922), 6:99-109, has crit¬ 
ical study of the writing and times of Venuto, 
with a list of seven editions of this booV lo¬ 
cated in Italian libraries. Both Savastano and 
Niccoli, Saggio Stor. e Bibl. Agric. Ital., p. 
47, give 1516 as date of the 1st ed.; but Nic¬ 
coli and Re, 4:181, state that the book was 
written in Latin about 1510, and later trans¬ 
lated into Italiani which Niccoli characteriz¬ 
es as a poor dialect, ”toscano-veneto-napole- 
tano-siciliano.” The title of this work as 
given by Lastri, is different from the above, 
and was probably taken from one of the later 
editions. 
Venetia, per Merchio Sessa, 1536. 79 p. 
(Brit. Mus. Nat. Hist.; Cat. Bib. Min. Agr. Italy, 
Sup.6 (1909), p,342) 
Cited by Haller, 1:245, and Savastano, 
l.c., 6:108. The latter gives full imprint, 
which is incorrectly spelled by Cat. Bib. Min. 
Agr. Italy. 
Venezia, per Francesco Bindoni et Mapheo Pasi- 
ni, 1537. (Brit. Mus.) 
Cited by Seguier, p.399, and Savastano, l.c. 
—— Venezia, per Francesco Bindoni et Mapheo Pasi- 
ni, 1541. (Brit. Mus.) 
—_- Venetia, per Marchio Sessa, 1541. (Olschki, 
Libri Ant. e Mod. [1938?], no.188) 
According to Savasteino the 1541 edition was 
published by Bindoni and Pasini; but Seguier, 
p.399, gives imprint, "Venetiis, per Mar. Ses- 
sam, 1541.*’ It may be that the issues of 
1536 to 1541 were brought out simultaneously 
by different printers. (MFW)
