Discorso sull' Agricoltura

"ff. 103-144, Giovanni Battista Tedaldi, Discorso sull' Agricoltura, chapters 23-69, incipit, "Instructione, e modo degli antichi per piantare arbori d'ogni sorte e d'ogni mese senza tener conto di luna crescente, o scema ... scemi al cuocere governo si gli ulivi per le stoppie, e dasci lor da coiacci a modo. Finis"; [f. 144v, blank].nnGiovanni Battista Tedaldi, Discorso sull' Agricoltura, chapters 23-69; these chapters are found in Marco Lastri's 1776 edition on pp. 39-104 (see Literature). This text was first published only in 1776 on the initiative of the Florentine literary critic and botanist Marco Lastri, who was also passionate about agriculture. Lastri's edition is based on Tedaldi's final version of the text which he dedicated it to the Cosimo I de' Medici (1519-1574), Grand Duke of Florence; the edition includes this dedication dated February 2, 1571. Our manuscript provides an earlier version of Tedaldi's Discorso, as it was available to our scribe in 1569, when he made his copy. The overall content and chapter structure are the same, but the wording occasionally differs from the edition.nnThe existence of this early manuscript copy raises questions about the circulation of the text in the two centuries before it was finally printed. To our knowledge there is currently no scholarly survey of the surviving manuscripts. Five manuscripts are listed in Kristeller's Iter italicum (Online Resources), one in Modena, Bibl. Estense, Gamma V 4, 9, 1 (oddly listed as fifteenth century, and dedicated to Ant. de' Cambi; Florence, Bibl. Laurenziana, MS 1464, sixteenth century; Dresden, Sächsische Labesbibliothek Ob 22, sixteenth century; Florence, Bib. Riccardiana MS 3944, seventeenth century, and Milan, Bibl. Ambrosiana, MS Z 187 sup., seventeenth century. The text appears to be very rare on the market; one copy was sold by Forum, "The Rothamsted Collection, day 1: Rarities from the Lawes Agricultural Library," July 10, 2018, lot 137, also from the second half of the sixteenth century.nnOur manuscript lacks chapters 1-22 (c. 20 ff.); since the foliation is evidence that 102 leaves are missing in the beginning of the manuscript, another work (or works) must have been bound before Tedaldi's treatise in what was originally a composite manuscript. The work, which includes the author's personal observations, is a comprehensive guide to horticulture. It begins with chapter 23, which offers instructions for planting trees in different months of the year. Chapters 24-26 continue with guidance on planting trees, chapters 27 and 29 discuss fig trees, chapter 28 includes advice on fig, apple and other fruit trees, chapter 30 offers advice for freeing apple trees of woodworm, chapter 31 concerns olive trees, chapters 32-34 treats peach trees (how to plant them, make them last a long time, and grow big fruits), chapter 35 on orange trees, chapter 36 on orange and lemon trees, chapter 37 on almond trees, chapter 38 on hazelnut trees, chapter 39 on walnut trees, chapter 40 on plum trees, chapters 41, 43 and 44 on pruning fruit trees, chapter 42 discusses which fruit trees not to grow in greenhouses, chapter 45 tells how to produce fruit starting from the first year of planting, chapter 46 is on pomegranates, chapter 47 on chestnut trees, chapter 48 on blackberries, chapter 49 on roses, chapter 50 on artichokes, chapter 51 on capers, chapter 52 on espaliered trees, chapter 53 on spiders, chapter 54 on preventing birds from eating the fruit, chapters 55-56 on caterpillars, and chapter 57 on the weather and which phase of the moon is good for cutting down trees. These chapters on agriculture are followed by the final twelve chapters (58-69), each dedicated to a calendar month and containing information on the work that should be done in that month in the fields and gardens. nnIn his dedication to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo I de' Medici, Tedaldi explains the aim of his "brief discourse," which is to describe how all kinds of herbs, fruits and plants are cultivated, nourished and shaped in gardens and farms, and how, according to the fundamental principles of the science of agriculture, they are best made to grow and bear fruit:nn"Io è fatto un breve discorso d'agricoltura, nel quale vi si trattano le maggiori importanze di essa, cioè; come si generano, si nutriscono e si formano nelle viscere della terra, come madre e principal fondamento di tale scienza, tutte quelle sorte di erbe, di frutti e di piante, che sono in uso cosi negli orti, come nei poderi coltivati, e similmente in qual lato, e con qual arte si facciano meglio crescere e fruttare ...."nnHe states that his work is based on several years of diligent study of writers on agriculture: "...le quali cose io ò con assidua lezione e studio di molti anni di tutti li scrittori d'agricolture, ritrovate e verificate." A much more substantial work on the subject, La gran fonte dell'agricoltura, which he planned in five volumes, was never completed. nnGiovanni Battista Tedaldi (1495-1575) entered the service of the Medicis in 1522, when he was made undersecretary to the condottiero Giovanni delle Bande Nere (1498-1526), the son of Giovanni de Medici and Caterina Sforza. After the condottiero's death, Tedaldi would serve his son, Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, to whom he dedicated his Discorso on agriculture. Tedaldi held several important positions, including vicar of San Giovanni Valdarno (1554), Vicopisano (1557), captain of Fivizzano (1559), consul of the sea at Pisa (1561), captain of Arezzo (1565-66), Pistoia (1569) and Pisa (1574-75); in 1562 he was elected one of the forty senators of Florence.nnTedaldi's treatise belongs to a long tradition of Florentine Renaissance works on topics related to gardening, horticulture, and agriculture. The Medici rulers of Florence from the fifteenth through the seventeenth century were enthusiastic supporters of natural history and the botanical sciences. Cosimo the Elder (1389-1464), for example, acquired a rare manuscript of Pliny's Natural History; and Landino's Italian translation of this essential work, published in 1476, was very popular in Florentine circles, as were classical texts praising the delights of pastoral life. Inspired by these ideas, fifteenth-century thinkers such as Leon Battista Alberti, developed new ideas on the importance of gardens in urban environments. The Grand Duke, Cosimo I, to whom Tedaldi dedicated his treatise, is known to have been keenly interested in botany, and sponsored botanical gardens in both Pisa and Florence.nnAs far as we have been able to determine, the manuscript circulation of Tedaldi's Discorso, and the reasons why it remained unpublished for so long, have not yet been discussed in the scholarly literature. The manuscript would be of interest to anyone researching attitudes towards landscape and gardens within Florentine circles, and more generally during the Renaissance. Beyond its historical interest, this very practical treatise on gardening, also holds interest to modern gardening enthusiasts.nnLiteraturennAttlee, H.

Horace de Landau, a Hungarian citizen, was named the Rothschild bank's representative in Turin in 1862. When he retired in 1872, he decided to devote himself to collecting manuscripts, books and art, and built a library with more than 60,000 volumes, considered one of the most beautiful in Europe (see "Villa Landau-Finaly," Online Resources). The collection included important illuminated manuscripts, incunabula, Bibles and liturgical books, first and rare editions, poetry collections, medical, surgical and mathematical treatises, miniatures, and engravings; a catalogue was published in 1885-1890. After Baron Landau's death, the collection was inherited by his niece, Florence Finaly (1877-1938), who continued to augment it. She was married to Henri de Cossette, Vicomte de Cossette, whose armorial bookplate is pasted on the recto of the first flyleaf.

Led seal with the effigy of the king still pending from a red and gold chord. Stiff-board and leather binding with gilded motifs (owl at the center, two lions, and pinecones in the four corners of a square frame).

[Lace pattern book.]

The book was captured in the reoriented direction done "shortly before 1700" (see details in notes below).nn…with additions 1688–1701]. Oblong 2° (22 . 31 cm). An album of pre-printed red grids (printed on 1 side of each leaf ) mostly of 101 . 161 squares, each grid square measuring about 1.67 . 1.67 mm, with every 10th square marked the along the edges by 2 gridlines extending about 1 grid length into the margin, used as intended to make manuscript needlework patterns by putting a black ink dot in each square that is supposed to be filled. What was originally the first leaf (the only folding leaf ) has been constructed by pasting together about 2/3 of two different grid leaves before the pattern was filled in. Of the 50 grid leaves, 49 were probably printed ca. 1600, while the present leaf 1 along with 6 smaller pieces of grid paper mounted on the unprinted sides of leaves 1 and 2 were probably added ca. 1700. Half brown sheepskin with a morocco grain (England, ca. 1855/65). With the original ca. 1600 brown paper wrappers bound innn"A ca. 1600 pattern book, probably intended for lace, embroidery and perhaps weaving and other applica¬tions. It was produced as an album of grid paper, most leaves with a red grid of 101 . 161 squares, where the user could make patterns by filling in some squares with a black dot and leaving others blank.nnIn its original orientation, the album began with the folding leaf followed by 48 leaves. The first owner or user of the album probably filled most of the leaves with patterns soon after it was produced ca. 1600. The paper of the grid leaves and the white paper core of the brown paper wrappers was made in Augsburg around 1600 (see below) and the frequent use of pinecone motifs in the pattern designs suggests that the book was not only printed but also used in Augsburg.nnShortly before 1700, someone began using the album again, turning it over and pasting a pink label with the date "Ao 1699" to what had been the back wrapper, making it the front wrapper. This was probably Anna Catharina von Knoll, who inscribed her name twice on the inside of what had become the front wrapper.nnWith an inscription, probably an owner's name, erased and illegible, on the inside of what was orig¬inally the front wrapper. The 1707 inscription by Anna Catharina von Knoll, noted above, gives her name twice.nnWith marginal restorations, 1 with the loss of the corner of the grid but apparently no loss to the pattern, minor and mostly marginal foxing, and an occasional small ink spot, abrasion or transparent stain. The binding has cracks in the hinges and some abrasions. Although the book certainly shows signs of use, most of the patterns survive complete and in good condition.

The neatly handwritten text specifies the family name, the city, region or country of origin and the heraldic description of each coat of arms.nnIn a brief introduction, the writer explaines the origin of the Order du Navire, ""dit d'Outremer et du double croissant, institué par le Roy Saint Louis au second voyage qu'il fit en Affrique l'an 1262 pour récompense et prix d'honneur de la Noblesse Françoise qui ferait le voyage d'Outremer avec luy (…) Saint Louis pour laisser la mémoire de ce passage en Affrique a la postérité permit aux seigneurs et gentils-hommes qui le suivirent en ce dernier voyage de se qualifier Chevaliers du Navire (…) Il permit pareillement à ceulx qui le voudroient faire, de prendre ce navire pour Armes"".

Concluding that those families whose coats of arms bear shipping vessels are the descendants of the companions of Saint-Louis, our heraldist has therefore composed this Recueil des famillles qui portent des Vaissaux, et des Navires pour leurs Armoiries, contenües dans l'Armorial de France, et Pays Etrangers [Collection of French and Foreign Countries Family Coats of arms that bear Vessels and Ships.nnPierre Larouuse does not give any further information on this supposedly unrecognized Order of Chivalry and also (if we rely of Saffroy's information) no published or manuscript work exists on this Order. According to Larousse's Grand Dictionnaire Universel (XI, p. 833), some historians report that in 1269, Sain Louis, King of France, upon departing for the crusade to Tunis founded an Ordre du Navire, of the Coquille de Mer or of the Double Croissant, rewarding the knights who distinguished themselves during the war, but no contemporary documents have ever been found about this institution, which in any case disappeared without trace. In spite of the limited knowledge on the historical tradition relating to the Order du Navire, the present manuscript represents a considerable effort from the iconographical, heraldic and artistic point of view.

Icones embryonum humanorum

20 engravings on [2] leaves of plates.,Note about author: Samuel Thomas von Sömmerring was a polymath similar in intellectual gifts and broad interests to his friend Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. He studied medicine at the University of Göttingen, receiving his degree in 1778. Using his skills as an illustrator and an acute observer, he developed a classification for the cranial nerves which superseded that of Thomas Willis. He identified and named the twelve cranial nerves and was the first to draw attention to the white matter of the brain, refuting the classification of the spinal cord as another cranial nerve. Icones Embryonum Humanorum consists of skillfully engraved plates, each with several depicitions of the human embryo showing development and growth over time. The engraver and artist Kock was personally trained by Sömmerring, who acknowledged him as one of the greatest anatomical illustrators. Plate I shows the human embryo outside of the uterus from the earliest stages to full term development. Note the appearance of the limb buds in Figure 3. -- MU Ellis Library Exhibit note (2010)
