Owen and published in London in 1805, with the title "Geoponika. Agricultural pursuits." It is improbable that this Greek manuscript was known in Western Europe when the Flemish "Boecxken" (see pp. 35-7) was compiled, but whether or no the contents of the latter are altogether different and show an independent origin.
