Seguier, Bib. Bot., p.402, is authority for 
publisher’s name. Seguier says: ’’Ertat etiam 
in Vineto,” but we have not found exactly what 
part of the ’’Vinetum” is here reprinted. Hal¬ 
ler, 1:545, and Johnson, p.113, indicate that 
this work was also issued with dates 1678 and 
1691J but these are dates of the ”Vinetum" it¬ 
self.
