Note 1 | Latin translation by Clusius of Belon's Les remonstrances sur le default du labour et culture des plantes, et de la connoissance d'icelles, contenant la maniere d'affranchir et apprivoiser les arbres sauvages, Paris, Cavellat (also copies with the address of Gilles Corrozet), 1558, in 8⁰. |
Note 2 | In this interesting treatise Belon lists a large number of exotic trees useful to be introduced into France, inviting moreover the College of Medicine of Paris to constitute a garden for the acclimatization of exotic plants. |
Note 3 | The work was issued without privilege or approbatio: a quite extraordinary procedure at that time (cf. the remarks in the Notes of cp012053). |
Note 4 | This Latin translation was reprinted in Clusius, Exoticorum libri decem, Leiden, Officina Plantiniana apud Raphelengium, 1605. |
Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 2 recto ([Bellonii Petri] De cultura stirpium, 8⁰, f[euilles] 5½, [price:] stuivers 2), and M 321 (under 1589). |
