A very good copy of a famous book on farming. Pietro de' Crescenzi (c.1230-c.1320) was an Italian jurist from Bologna, now known as a writer on agriculture. Educated at the University of Bologna in logic, medicine, the natural sciences and law, Crescenzi practised as a lawyer and judge from about 1269 until 1299. After retiring to his villa, Villa Olmo outside the walls of Bologna, he wrote this agricultural treatise based largely on classical and medieval sources, as well as his own experience as a landowner. After circulating in numerous manuscripts, Crescenzi's treatise became the first printed modern text on agriculture when it was published in Augsburg by Johann Schüssler in 1471. A very popular work, some 57 editions in Latin, Italian, French, and German appeared during the following century. (Wikipedia). The author deals with all aspects of agriculture and farming including arboriculture for food and medicine, horticulture for the same, animal husbandry and bee keeping, hunting with dogs and hawks, fishing and fishponds, siting and layout of a manor, botanical properties of plants, monthly tasks, vines and wine making.

Late 18th-century three-quarter calf over speckled boards, gilt edges; (title lightly browned with some minor stains, few scrawls in red pencil in margins; light edgewear, otherwise a good and compact copy of this early modern agricultural printing from Venice). Formerly in the collection of The Horticultural Society of New York, their pictorial bookplate on the front pastedown detailing the bequest of Kenneth K. Mackenzie, lawyer and botanist from New York City (October1934). This is the third edition of an important Italian translation of the Ruralia commoda by Pietro de Crescenzi (12331320), a horticulturalist from Bologna, with the corrected "tavola." Two editions of this translation preceded this one, first in 1528 and then 1538. Crescenzi's Ruralia commoda, written in twelve parts, was the first major book on agriculture since the era of the Roman Empire; it was an authority on the agrarian way of life throughout the Middle Ages and until the 18th century. The Ruralia commoda, or "Benefits of Country-living," circulated in numerous manuscript copies for about a century before Johann Schüssler first printed it in Augsburg in 1471. As the Italian title indicates, Crescenzi's popular book dealt with the best methods to cultivate the land, sow crops, and plant trees, herbs, and fruits. It is perhaps best known as a study of traditional grape cultivation or viticulture. Crescenzi's "agricultural bible" also included a section on the nature and usefulness of animals in farming. The Venetian printer Bernandino Bindoni is named in the colophon with "stampato in Vinegia." This Bindoni edition of the Italian translation is not commonly found in institutional collections.

With historiated woodcut initials, printer's device on recto of last leaf. Later vellum, manuscript title on spine; minor paper repairs throughout, one leaf restored. Contemporary annotations. An extremely rare edition (only five copies located) of what was the first agronomic treatise of the middle ages, the original printing of which appeared in Augsburg in 1471. Crescentio was "seventy years of age when he undertook to write, in Latin, a sort of Gentleman's Recreation or Maison Rustique, in twelve books, crammed with information of all kinds likely to be of use to the gentleman farmer." His compendium of agriculture and husbandry provide the botanical background needed for raising crops, and includes topics ranging from water supply, apiculture, the building of granaries and the cultivation of grains. In addition, he discusses arboriculture and horticulture, the hunting and trapping wild animals, the medicinal uses of plants, as well as the diseases of animals, and domestic hygiene. Chapter IV, is devoted to viticulture, wine and the preservation of grapes and raisins. Chapter VIII, which covers gardens, served as a model for many sixteenth and seventeenth century gardening books. The final chapter is a well organized manual of procedure, detailing everything that needs to be done monthly in the orchard, farm and field. The immense value of this work was recognized immediately; Charles V, King of France, first ordered this book to be translated into French in 1373. Since then, it has gone through numerous editions and translations into several languages. Crescentio (1230-1320) is considered the father of agronomic science in Italy. He studied both law and medicine at the University of Bologna, and held several political offices in Italy.
