Sinossi
Excerpt from The Book of the Grape: Together With a Chapter on the Decorative Value
The great antiquity of the grape-vine is a matter not open to dispute, for its leaves have even been discovered in the tufa at Montpellier, and grape seeds have been found in several lake dwellings which belong to the Bronze Age. It has been cultivated for many thousand years, for we are told that Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard whilst Egyptian records of grape-growing and the making of wine carry us back to an even earlier date.
