The Prædium rusticum published in 1554 by the printer and humanist Charles Estienne is the genesis of the French editions of La maison rustique , printed and translated into different European languages in the 16 th and 17 th centuries. This Latin compilation of various opuscules, gathering together quotations found in books by the agronomists of Antiquity, is not a treatise on applied agronomy but rather a collection of convincing arguments for engaging in a discussion. The Agriculture et maison rustique ( 1564 ) is the result of a total rewriting in the vernacular of this original Latin text.
