(...)  So far as I have looked
(and that's not very far) there is also a 1512 version with some different
woodcuts. >>


Petrus de Crescentiis wrote his agricultural work around 1300.


The Latin text was published recently by Will Richter in three volumes.


There are several of the Latin and German versions available online, 
both in early manuscripts and in early prints:
