De la Culture & maniere de planter les Tulipans .

POur avoir bonne terre & proppre á bien noutrir , eslever , & entretenir les Tulipes & garder aussy quand & quand que les taulpes ne les mengent ou endommagent , il est necessaire de les planter en bonne terre & grasse , parmy laquelle il fault messer des Cendres de boys de vigne avec du tan , dont se servent les tanneurs pour habiller les cuits , & ne le fault planter trop avant dans terre , car le Tulipa est de tel●e nature qu'il se jette plus dans terre que dehors , puis quand il a jette ses fleurs , il fault auoir le soing de t●re● les boulles hors de terre , & les garder en lieu sec , carelles se porroyent gaster sinon celles dont vous attender les semences . Puis apprez quand on les veult replanter en la mesme maniere , cela se do●bt faire enuiron la fin de l'automne , & ainsy en ce faisant vous conserverez tousiours vos tulipans beaux & sans estre endommagez , negastez , & se pourrez aussy dilater les petitos raçines facillement , pour en multiplier & nourrit de nouvelles plantes .

La maniere de semer la semence des Tulipans .

ET d'autant que le Tulipan est vne fleur qui abonde en semence , & que pour son excellence elle est dig●e dest●e semee a cause mesme des belles & diverses fleurs quy en procedent . I'ay bien voullu vous enseigner la maniere de les semer qui est telle , vous ferez faire un Auge de boys longue & large a discretion felon que vous voudrez en semer & l'emplirez de bonne terre preparee en la façon cy devant descrite puis vous se●erez vostre semence de Tulipans la dedans environ sur la fin de l'automne ayan le soing de la tenir tousiours vis à vis du soleil , & la bien garder du vent septemtrional qu●l ne donne ●essus , & pour le choix de la semence prendre tousiours de celle que l'on verra estre , la plus belle , me●re , & ●eux no●rrye , ce qu'ayant observe , vous aurez de● plantes a vostre souhai● , & aurez pour maxime de prend●e tousiours les semences que vous voudrez semer de ceux . Dont ●'ay cy devant escrit , cat celles sout les plus dig●ses d'estre semez & sans d'oubte vous aurez de belles deurs d'icelles .

De la nature & proppriéte des Tulipans & de leurs Corruptions .

POur bien escrire de la propprieré des Tulipans & de leur corruption ou multiplication il fault sçavoir quilz ne a pas fort abo●dantz en ses fleurs mais sont accidentelles , mais neantmoins de nature assez dure , estant en les raçines de soy mesmes asses abondant a se multiplier augmentant ses raçines tous les ans de deux ou trois , voules mais d'autant que la taulpe est vne beste fort dommageable á ●elles raçines , il est bien necessaire que les personnes quy sont Amateurs d'entreteni● de telles fleurs pour en avoir le plaisir dans leurs jardins , soyent foigneux de les bien garder decét animal , comme aussy de grandes humiditez , & pourtant il est bon voire aussy necessaire , aussy tost que les fl●urs sont passees qu'on tire les boulles de ses Raçines hors de la terre pour les garder en lieu sec & propre sinon celle duquel vous voles semer .

Secret pour garder les Raçines desfleurs lesquelles la taulpe menge volontiers .

SY vous voulez preserver vos fleurs & les Raçines d'icelles du dommage de la taulpe , prenez de la terre grasse & la messez avec du tan que les flamens appellent run / dont les tanneurs se servent pour tanner leurs cuirs & de la cendre de boys de vigne , & enterrez vos boulles ou Raçines soit de Tulipes en autres fieurs la dedans vn demy pied en avant dans terre , & ne craignez plus que la taulpe vienne menger vos Raçines , car elles haissent vne telle terre & n'entretont jàmais dedans .

Contre vn autre acçident arrivant aulx Tulipans .

ET d'autant que les raçines des Tulipes peuvent estre endommagez par plusieurs & divers accidentz , qui tournent souvent au grand desplaisir & mescontentement de ceux quy les ayment & qui les possedent , je les ay bien voullu advertir d'un , entre plusieurs acçidentz qui peuvent arriver a cela qui est assez dangereux , assavoir , que les boulles ou raçines se trouvent souventefois endommagez des vers ou lombris qui les font mourir . Ce qui je peult remedier en ceste façon , quand elles seront levées hors de la terre , & quae l'on verra quil y aura quelque dommage des vers en icelles ou en aucunne , vous la mettrez au soleil avec du sablon a l'entour & les laisserez ainsy par quelques jours ainsy elles seront garantyes .

FINIS .

The translator to the Readers , or practisioners .

THe Curteous practisioner shall please to vnderstand , that these beinge ( by earnest request ) committed to mee to be transta●ed , and the names of the colours so much differinge from the originall language , that neither by search of bookes , not conference with painters , not marchants beyonde the seas , could sufficientlie expresse the same to an Englishmans vnderstandinge . Yet by some that made profession of that arte , beinge perswaded that they all had one generall name ; whereof I my selffe know better , have done them all , or the most parte of them , to be vnderstoode of any Englishman , onely in one coloure which the dutchmen call Schijt-geel which translated signifieth a sh●tter yellow . I have in place thereof ( because of not offendinge modest eares ) called it throughout the whole booke a sad yellow . It is that which the Lattines , french , and spanish , call Buxus , that is box coloure , which is a ●ad or dead lyke yellow . Thus committing you to the protection and direction of the father of all goed spiritts , I rest .

From Vtrecht this 12 of September 1615. Yours E. W.

WHat others with expences great , And toile to passe have brought In searchinge out most forraigne landes , And longe experience sought : And ventured have both liffe and good , To satisfie theire mynde : Makinge the chieffest still theire choise , And rarest of that kynde . Which havinge founde , have carefull bene , With curious arte to expresse : In perfect lineaments the same , As here you will confesse . If well you please to take a vew , From th' top vnto the toe : Of every flower , both stalke and roote , Expressed here in show . You will confesse and graunt with mee , This youth deserves much praise : Whose whole delight from infancie . Hath laboured most alwaies , His knowledge still for to augement , In this his painefull trade : Vntill by industrie at last , This booke was fully made . Which here to you this passe presents , With passinge free good will : Surpassinge all such former sortes , In workemanshipp and skill . Receave then these as his first fruites , What after shall ensue : Of other subiectes , tyme will shew , So for this tyme a deu . T. W. FINIS .

I. CHAMAEMELON FLORE SIMPLICI .

CHamaemeli herba vulgaris licet sit , ejus tamen flores non vltimam laudem , cùm ob formam , tum ob aptissimum Medicinae usum , merentur . Nomen verò inde procedit , quod in floribus mali odor deprehendatur , ex quo fere verum & legittimum esse Chamaemelum conijcere licet , quod & ipsae facultate levidentiùs ostendunt . Lassitudini , si quid aliud cum primis confert ; doloresue sedat & mitigat ; praeterea tensa remittit & laxat , ac teste Dodonaeo , mediocriter dura emollit , constipata rarefacit ; nihilue notius aut frequentius in pharmacopolarum officinis occurrit ; omnium quippe medicamentorum seré praeludium , & graviorum purgamentorum praeparamentum in se continens .

II. OXYACANTHA SILVESTRIS .

OXyacantha ab acutis videlicet ramulorum spinis sic dicta , nascitur passim in frutetis locisue asperis , silvestri ferè pyro similis , nisi quod minor est & spinosa : Fructum sert myrto non dissimilebā , rubentem , fragilem , nucleos intus habentem ; solium mali cydonij sed angustius , viridius teneriusue : Et praeter vim astringendi , varios in Medicinâ usus habere creditur .

PLura referuntur Pimpinellae genera : Sanguisorba verò Italica Pimpinella creditur , a miris in sistendo sanguine viribus sic dicta , quae tamen ab hac nostrâ nonnihil diversa , quam lonicerus Daucum Creticum Dioscoridis ee putat , & Ruellius a Germanis Pimpinellae nomine vocari tradit . Semen ejus calefaciendi vim habere scribitur ; Meminit quoque ejus Bapt: Fiera ineleganti suâ caenâ , hoc disticho .

Vesicae lapides si Pimpinella remollit , Ignita est , iecori sana , lienque tibi .

XIIII . ANTIRRHINVM .

ANtirrhinum Belgae orant vocant , cui caules sunt rotundi , glabri , fragiles & ramosi ; folia multa , vt plurimùm oblonga & acuminata , Linariae similia , sed majora : Flores secundum caules superiori parte ordine digesti , formâ oblongi , anteriori parte latiores ; qui aperti hiantis leonis rictum referunt , vnde Columella , Nascissique comas & hiantis saeva leonis Ora feri . colore roseo rubentes , aut candidi , vel ex candido purpurascentes , non rarò etiam sublutei ; quos deinde capitulum sequitur , oblongum , anteriore parte angustius & foraminosum , narium vituli similitudine ; in quo semen parvum & sub ingricans . Vires contra venesicos habere tradit Dioscorides .

XVI . OXYACANTHAE SPECIES .

IS frutex qui nobis Haechdoorn , Lonicero Cynosbatus Theophrasti ee creditur & Latinè rubum caninum dici posse existimat . Certè descriptio Dioscoridis non valdè ab hoc nostro differt : Frutex ( inquit ) est arboris instar , rubo longe major , folia fert multo latiora Myrto , firmis circa ramos spinis , flore candido , fructu oblongo , nucleo Olivae simili , qui per maturitatem slavescit ac rubescit , & flocculos intus continet .

HAec Lychnis silvestris ex Verbasci specibus ee videtur quam sic Lomcerus describit : In silvis & montibus crescens , folijs mollibus & canis , e cujus medio flos erumpit , Cyano per omnia similis , sed major & plenior , caule palmum vix alto . Omnibus ferè pectoris vitijs mederi creditur , & tussientibus prodesse .

XVIII . MESPILVS .

MEspilus Aronia ( vt putant ) Dioscoridis , arbor est mali vulgaris altitudine inferior , ramis in gyrum comosis asperisue ; folio promisso , tenui , & longo pediculo ; flore subherbaceo , Amigdalae formâ ; fructu , dum pubescit , viridi & duro , vbi maturùerit fulvo ac molli , circa verticem cristato vel potius coronato , quatuor imò quinque intus nucleis lapideis , vnde divulgaris apud Germanos versiculus .

Kein Ionckfrou ward ne so reyn , Ass sie drei nespelen , gib sie von ihr funfftzen stein .

Vsus horum in medicinis olim nullus , sed in coronis frequentissimus fuit : Nunc autem calculo atterendo ac educendo , comitiali etiam morbo laborantibus succum vtilem credi , scriptum Fuchsius reliquit .

XX. MALVS CITRIA .

MAlus citria vel Assyria ab odore commendatur Amat loca calida , quae causa quod in Germaniâ rara sit ; folium fert Lauri , perpetuâ frondens comâ , intercursantibus in ramulis spinis , fructu perenni : Arbor omnibus horis est pomisera , alijs cadentibus , alijs maturescentibus , alijs vero subnascentibus pomis . Huius poëtarum apud nos princeps sic meminit in Georgicis : Ipsaingens arbos , faciemque simillima Lauro , Et si non alium latè iactaret odorem , Laurus erat ; folia haud vllis labentia ventis ; Flos apprima tenax : animas et olentia Medi Ora fovent illo , & senibus medicantur anhelis .

MVscipula sine viscaria haec , Clusij videtur esse Lychnis silvestris altera , flore muscoso ; quae Germanis Lymcruyt dici posset , ob viscosum quo abundat succum , qui non solum tangentium digitis adheret , sed & muscas praetervolantes ad se trahit , & veluti reti quodam involuit , vnde & Belgae ei nomen vliegenet , vt Latinum exprimerent , dederunt . Habet caules geniculatos ; folia lata & venosa , e singulis fere geniculis bina ; flores in summo multos & odoratos , colore pulcro roseo rubentes , vel dilutè purpurascentes . Et quamvis nullas ejus in re medicâ vires agnoscat Dodonaeus , sunt tamen qui adversus pestem valere arbitrantur .

XXIIII . ACVLEIFOLIVM .

Aquifolium vel potius Aculeifolium Agriam ee Theophrasti credidit Tragus , & Lauri silvestris speciem ; quod aliquando arborescit , & in majorem excrescit crassitiem : ramos habet nihilominus teneros & flexibiles , ex duro tamen ligno nigrescente & ponderoso , quod lapidis instar in aquas conjectum mergitur , cortice verò tegitur aequali : Folia etiam sunt & aequalia & nitida , saturè virescentia , a Lauri folijs non multùm distantia , sed minora , & acutis in ambitu spinis armata , quae cum arboris aetate minuuntur . Flosculos producit candidos & odoriferos , fructus rotundis instar pisarum , & rubentes , quorum nucleus est subalbidus & ingrati saporis , qui colicis prodesse creditur .

GElseminum sive Iasminum hortorùm ornatui plurimùm servit : Cauliculos habet teneros , geniculatos , virides , quibus inest medulla spumea ceu spongiosa ; ex singulis nodis vel geniculis oriuntur gemina folia , septem conjunctis foliolis aequalibus , saturè virentibus , & mucronatis , constantia : In vertice cauliculorum flores apparent oblongi , odoris gratissimi ; Coloris verò subalbidi , nonnihil tamen calyces rubentis . Est & alia Iasmini species floribus caeruleis , quae ex clematidum genere esse videtur .

PYrorum vt malorum multa sunt genera , plurima inter se varietate distincta . Cùm vero pyrum arborem supra descripserùm , eademque sit insuper vulgatissima plura de eâ dicere hîc supersedeam , si addidero tantum Scolae Salernitinae hos versus .

Cum cognis antidotum pyra sunt , sed cruda venenum Cruda gravant stomachum , relevant pyra cocta gravatum . Post pyra da pottum , &c.

CII . LILIVM .

LIly los bicet nemini hodie incognitus , omnibus nihilominus gratissimus exstit . De eo fabulantur poëtae in hunc modum . Quum Iupiter Herculem ex Alemenâ genuisset , essetque mortalis quippe qui matris conditionem sequeretur , immortalitatis participem facere cupiebat , & propterem ipsum adhuc infantem Iunonis dormientis vberibus admovit infans itaque lacte satur ob à papilla amovit , lac tamen nihilominus vbertim fluebat , etiam puero amoto , & quicquid eius in caelo diffusum est , lacteum circulum effecit , quod verò in terram dilapsum est eiusque glebas tinxit , id ipsum florem Lily produxit , quod similitudine lactis colorem exprimit : quem inde Rosam Iunoniam posteri appellavêre . Aqua stillatitia ad amissam vocem & syncopen plurimum commendatur .

CIII . FRAGARIA .

FRagaria exilis est herba passim obvia , neque caules neque ramulos habens , sed solùm folijs , floribus & fructu constans . Hujus tria faciunt genera : primum haec nostra est fragaria , multis a radice lanuginosis pediculis , uorum alij flore candido corenantur , alij trigemino comantur folio , per ambitum crenato & venoso , alij fructum gerunt exiguis moris haud dissimilem cum maturuit rubentem cum gustu tum odore suavissimum . Succus foliorum vulnera ardentia sanare & glutinare traditur .

CIIII. PSEVDO-MELANTHIVM .

PSeudo-Melanthium herba est inter segetes nascens folijs , allij modo acuminatis , sed brevioribus pilosisue ; florem fert menso Iunio ex vasculo hispido purpureum , paruae & quinque foliae rosae similem , quo decidente capitulum ceu vasculum manet , longiusculum , angulosum , hirsutumue in quo semen nigrum . Folia cum semine Chirurgis sunt in vsu . Videtur ᵃ esse Hippocratis Melanthium ex tritico , ac Octavij Horati ani Sith , quibus fere in omnibus convenit .

CV . CERASA .

ESt hic fructus multiplici varietate Colorum , magnitudinis ac etiam formae notissimus , & supra cum sua quoque arbore descriptus ; De hoc sic Simeon Sethus in Sytagmate de libariorum facultatibus : Cerasia , quae & sic Graecis dicta frigida sunt & humida , maliue succi , ventrem subducunt , stomacho parum idonea , humidum ventriculum laedunt , praesertim cum matura non sunt : sed calidis & siccis ventricalis & temperaturis prosunt . Gummia arboris cum vino sumptum , calculosos sanat .

CVI. MALVS PERSICA .

PErsica malus sic dicta , quòd ex persica primum sit allata : gaudet locis aquosis , folia fert Amydalae , sed maiora : floret primo statum vere cum Amygdalis , flore subpuniceo , pomum producit carno , succulentum , foris lanuginosum durâ intus & scabrâ nuce , in quâ nucleus quilas in Amygdalis . Persica m●la in ardentibus febribus sumi possunt ; sed frequens eorum vsus multum phlegmatis gignit , horum sic meminit Fiera . Rosa sumus pluuio mox putrenscentut , ventri Fida calescenti , si modo prima damur . Mollia laxamus ventres , siccata tenemus ; Nos timuit Persis , sed tibi grata sumus . postremum hunc versum quoque hec sequenti disticho expressit Martial .

Vilia maternis pueramus praecoqua ramis : Nunc in adoptinis Persica cara sumus .

CVII . FLOS CONSTANTINOPOLITANVS .

BElgae nostri florem vocant Constantinòpolitanum ; Germani verò Hierosolymorum : Aldroandus Creticum . Herbae ventem e radice caules sunt plures geniculati , cavi ; folia nonnihil aspera & hersuta : flores in latis vmbellis , multi simul congesti , aspectu pulcri , caeterùm inodori , colore Lilij purpurei , sine maturi mali Aurantij corticis . In Iunio Iulio ac sequentibus mensibus , apparent . Quos habet in medicinâ vsus Dodonaeus sibi incognitum esse tradit , quamvis non minimam in hortis ac coronis gratiam eius flores sint assecuti .

CVIII . NARDVS GERMANICA .

SPseudo-Nardi species est , quam Lauendulam appellant , quòd in balneis & Lanacris expetatur ob odoris paestantiam . Odorata haec & coronaria stirps est , sed humilis , ramulos ceu virgas proferens tenues ; folia oblonga , carnosa , vtraque parte albicantia , & in summo spicas oblongas tenues , floribus refertas caeruleis : Habetue insuper radices lignosas in fibras divisas . Dodonaeus Casiam veterum , esse putat cuius Virgilius his verbis meminit in Georgicis : Haec circum Casiae virides , & olentia latè Serpilla , & graviter spirantis copia Thymbre Floreat .

MAlus Armeniaca persicae species est . Ejus fructus teste Dioscoride minor est , atque stomacho vtilior quám persicae , totus quoque flammis & precox . Baptista Fiera poma Armeniaca hoc disticho describit .

Poma eadem quae persica , si tamen amplum His corpus , nobis aurea forma datur .

CX . CARIOPHYLLEVS MAXIMVS .

INter coronarias herbas , familiam ducere creditur Caryophylleus flos ; hic verò expressus inter alios ejus generis flores , insigni magnitudine , Colorum eleganti mixturâ , & odoris gratissimi fragrantia praestat . In hortis hodie frequens est haec herba ; sed speciosissimi flores ferè in fictilibus vasis habentur , vt à frigoris injuriâ hybernis mensibus tutari , & ad caliodiora loca transferri possint .

Locis gaudet aridis & arenosis ; ramos autem fert herbaceos , scabros , folia minuta , florem pisi , luteum tamen & apibus gratissimum . Differt a Genistâ minore hodie Genistellâ dictâ , quòd non sit aculeata , & minus exsiccet . Tenera Genistae germina , vel flores tusos , serpentum morisibus vtiliter imponi ferunt .

CXII . SALVIA :

SAlvia 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 ab 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 seu 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 , quòd syderationem significat , quia , vt Ruellius inquit , herba retorrida & exucca videtur , quasi in tabem sit versa . Salvia dicta quod sit salutaris ejus vsus , vnde Schola salernitana .

Cur moritur homo , cui salvia crescit in hortis ? &c.

Arbor est nota , puram terram desiderans , fructumue ferens nucem castaneam dictum Ethynato tegmine tectum ; quem sic describit Fiera : Quae tibi grata licet posito mollescat echinno Sicca est , & nimio Castanea igne calet . In caput & ventres inflata asperrima saevit , Ni spolia apportet mellis arundinci .

HAec vulgaris notitiae planta , spinosa admodum , tam fronde quàm flore odorem spira gratissimum . Virgus fert aculeis humatis munitas , folia asper nigricantias , incisuris tenuibus divisa . Flos ex calycibus erumpit dehiscentibus ex puniceo colore pallescens , quinque foliorum , imâ verò parte vnguis humani colorem referens , qui pandens sese , apices in medio sui fert flavos , ac stamina capillamentis , insidentia , quibus decidentibus fructus oblongus & subrubescens sequitur , interius lanuginosus .

CXVI . TRITICVM .

FRumentum hoc quod in suo genere principatum obtinet Graecis 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 , Latinis verò triticum dicitur , quòd e spicis tritum sit , nimis communi vocabulo , & Varroni vix digno . Tria hujus numerantur genera : primum culino nascitur quàm hordeum altiore , tribus geniculis constante , folio arundineo , spicâ folijs remotiore ; Secundum in eo differt , quòd spicam multis aristis vallatam obtinet : Tertium priori per omnia simile , nisi quod genicula habet quaterna . Multiplex ejus in Medicâ re , & quotidianâ vitâ est vsus : Sed quando vtiliter seratur elegantissimis suis versibus indicat Maro Georg : lib. 1.

Atsi triticeam in messem robustaque farra Exercebis humum , solisque instabis aristis . Antè tibi Eoae Atlantides abscondantur , Gnossiaque ardentis dicedat stella Coronae , Debita quàm sulcis committas semina , quamque Invitae properes anni spem credere terrae ,

Haec Veneri olim gratissima fuisse leguntur : & Solon teste Plutarcho , jubebat sponso concubituram ; prius edere malum Cydonium , quòd & eleganti emblemate expressit Alciatus : Poma novis tribui debere Cydonia nuptis Dicitur antiquus constituisse Solon , Grata ori & stomacho cùm sint , vt & halitus illis Sit suavis , blandis manet & ore lepos .

Totus frutex lignosus est , & Hyemis rigorem facile sustinet ; in ruderibus & saxosis locis libentius nascitur , vnde nostri Muerbloemen vocant . Est autem Leucoij frutex vniversus , vt Galenus ait , extergentis facultatis , ac tenuium partium , plus tamen flores : Dioscorides etiam lutea Leucoia praecipui in medicinâ vsus esse scribit ; Et Hippocrates ad secundas educendas ejus semen valere tradit .

Atque ita ejus vel commoda , vel damna in modo consistere docemur .
