Second Dutch edition. The first German edition appeared in Regensburg 1716-17 and was translated into French, Dutch and English. 'Last published in 1784, its 35 plates served as the principal illustrated fruit-tree propagation manual for many decades' (Janson, Pomona's Harvest p. 215). According to Hunt 'this was the first treatise on cuttings and graftings, and it made Agricola famous'. Some slight waterstaining.
