Surnommé le père de l'agriculture française, Olivier de Serres nous offre ici une excellente compilation des connaissances de l'agriculture de son temps. Divisé en 8 parties, l'ouvrage traite de la culture de la terre, de la vigne, du blé, du bétail et de la volaille, du jardin potager et fruitier, et enfin de l'usage des aliments et des recettes pour les agrémenter. Cette édition est, avec la première, une des plus estimées (Vicaire). Petites épidermures, coins usés. Bon état intérieur, malgré des pages gondolées. Vicaire p. 789 ; Bitting, p.430
