Abstract

The true founder of Pomology was probably J. H. Knoop (1706-1769), 1with his work "Pomologia," Leeuwarden 1758, translated into German in 1760, and into French in 1771. Pomologia consists of descriptions and illustrations of fruit species and varieties. However, Johannes Bauhin, the first important precursor of pomology, was far superior to all agronomists and botanists of his time, with his outstanding writings and illustrations of fruit varities. He was born in Basle, Switzerland February 12, 1541, and died in Montbéliard on October 27, 1613.
