This Flemish tract appears to have priority over the "Book of St. Albans," as far as fishing is concerned; that is, as a printed book. There

are a number of early German versions, appearing under the title of "Büchlin" or "Fischbüchlin," published between 1552 and 1700. One of these is included in the Fischbuch of Gregory Mangolt, published at Zurich in 1598. Three other editions are known: one in 4°, without place or date, having an identical title; the other, slightly changed in verbiage, in 1583 without place; and the third in 1584. For notes on these editions see Westwood & Satchell, p. 35-37. For an English translation, see Denison, A., 1872.1.

Anon. 741 Encyclopédie japonaise [ante Anon. 742 Under this heading, Valenciennes records four collections of native paintings of Japanese fishes extant in his day: one in the Bibliothèque du Roi; another in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris; another in the collections of Sir Joseph Banks; and the fourth belonging to the Duc de Rivoli. The first comprised figures of 76 fishes; the 2nd & 3rd 83 & 84 each, and the last 31. The date can be fixed approximately since it is known that Kaempfer (q. v.) had some of these engraved for his "History of Japan."
