Pre-Linn. 1710.1 Johann Ludwig Hannemann, præses. Crescentiis, or Crescenze, Pietro de [1230-1310] For a life of this author, see that in the modern edition of his works in footnote below.

Ruralium commodorum libri duodecim finiunt feliciter. Augustinum [Augsburg), 1471. 209 unpaged leaves. Pre-Linn. 1471.1

An earlier Latin ed.: Paris & Strassburg, 1486. A modern edition, to which is appended a sketch of Crescentiis and an estimate of his work. is: "Trattato della agricoltura Translato nella fevella Fiorentina revisto dallo' Uferigno [B. de' Rossi] (Vita di P. Crescenzi Osservazione sopra lo scritto di P. Crescenzi) 3 vols. Milano, 1805."

Crescenze indicates the various methods of rendering ponds and inland lakes profitable. He is one of the "old farmers" discussed by Donald G. Mitchell in his "Wet days at Edgewood." (See Mitchell, D. G., 1865.1)

Copies of 14th cent. eds. of the above work in H., N. Y. S., & A. P. S.

Cube or Cuba or Caub, Johann von. For an analysis of the "Hortus "and a critical study of its authorship, see Choulant, Ludwig. Graphische Incunabeln für Naturgeschichte und Medicin. . . des XV und XVI Jahrhunderts.' Leipzig, 1858, pp. 20-75. Choulant calls the "Hortus," 'das wichtigste Naturhistorie des Mittelalters mit Abbildungen." See also Payne, J. F. "On the Herbarius and Hortus Sanitatis." Trans. Bibliog. Soc. London, 1901, 6, 70 p. illust. 4°. Payne argues that Cube was not the author of the "Hortus "1

Six other folio eds. appeared in Latin as follows: Venice, 1511; Strassburg, 1536; and four without place or date.

Choulant notes eight German eds. as follows: Strassburg, 1507, 1515, 1521, 1527, 1529, 1536; Augsburg, 1508; & Frankfort, 1533. Low Saxon eds. appeared at Lübeck in 1492, 1510, and 1520. Dutch eds. are: Antwerp 1511, 1514. 1547; Brussels, 1514, & Utrecht, 1538. Paris issued two eds., one in 1539 and one without date.

A different French version bearing the title Arbolaire," "Herbolaire," or "Le Grant Herbier," ran through six editions.

Haller in his "Bibliotheca Botanica," vol. I, pp. 240-242, lists many other editions seemingly not known to Choulant. The following title is for a good later edition:

Hortus sanitatis, quatuor libris haec quæ subsequuntur, complectens. De herbis et plantis, de animalibus et reptilibus, de avibus et

volatilibus, de piscibus et natatilibus, etc. Argentorati, 1517. figs. fol. Pre-Linn. 1517.1

The "Hortus" is divided into many short chapters, each (for the most part) with its illustrative woodcut. The edition of 1491 (possibly the best) devotes 106 chapters to fishes. The "Hortus" contains the first known figure of Remora acting as a ship-retarder.

Copies of various early eds. are in H., Y., A. M. N. H., Pa., L. C., & J. C.

The author or compiler of the "Hortus Sanitatis" has been identified as Dr. Johann Wonnecken von Cube, town physician of Frankfort, toward the end of the 15th century.

This remarkable work seems not improbably to have been based in large part on the "Herbarius Moguntinus" which first appeared from the press of Schäffer at Mainz, in 1484, and which enjoyed great popularity as the 16 later editions testify. In any case, it was a compilation of all medical data known at the time of its publication.

Dampier's collected "Voyages" were first published in a "Collection of Voyages" along with those of Wafer, Funnell, and others, London, 1729. They were published separately as "Voyages and Adventures" in 2 vols. London, 1777. 8°; and as "Voyages and Discoveries." 2 vols. London, 1790. 12°. They are best available to the present day reader in Masefield's fine reprint, published by Richards, London, 1906. See Dampier, W., 1906.1

"As is well known, Dampier was an acute natural history observer as well as a bold navigator and adventurer, and his observations on the beasts, birds, and fishes he met with during his long voyages are among the best and most trustworthy of his time." — J. A. Allen (Bibl. of Cetacea and Sirenia, 1882. p. 430).
