HORTICULTURA, DAT IS; HOVENIERINGE, 
Horticultura, dat is; Hovenieringe, oft instructie om 
te hovenieren. Door B» I. M® Carthuyser® Van nieuws over- 
sein, verraeerdert ends vervetert® ’t Enchuysen, Gedruckt 
voor A. Wesselsz, l640® [l6] p. 13 . 5 cm® (Dept. Agr®) 
The word "Carthuyser" is evidently not the 
name of the author, who is represented by ini¬ 
tials "B® I. M.", but indicates that he was a 
member of the Carthusian order® This is also 
shown by the following entry, in which the "I®" 
becomes a "J®", and the "B.", which may signify 
brother or friar, is omitted® Thus we conclude 
that the author was a Carthusian brother called 
I® (or J®) M® The tract itself is a very tri¬ 
fling contribution to horticultural literature®

Horticultura, ou L*art de bien jardinier, planter et 
semer, par J® M® Chartreux* Bruxelles [16793 (Haller, 
Bib® Bot® 1;603; Muller, Einleit. Oekon® u® Phys, Biicher- 
kunde (I 78 O) l;6l) 
Haller does not assign a date for this work, 
but lists it in the period I 678 or 1679 ; while 
Muller definitely gives the latter date® Both 
say it is by "J® M® Chartreux", dropping the in¬ 
itial "3®" used in the preceding entry® Haller, 
moreover, plainly states that it is "ex belgico 
conversus", i®e. translated from the Flemish or 
Dutch, thus clearly identifying this with the 
"Horticultura" of I 640 ® It is quite possible 
ttt^that the French version may have additions of 
new or borrowed material, as no full description 
of it has come to light® (iJFt?)
