<<  

What would be interesting, and which I do not have time to do now, is check 
Clusius's Rariorum aliquot stirpium per Hispanias observatarum historia 
(1576) for references to the tomato.  Clusius's work was prepared from 
observations made while travelling in Spain. >>


I checked this text before and did not find a reference there (caveat: I only 
checked the indices for entries like "mala aurea" and the like"; maybe there are 
unindexed references). 



There is an article on the correspondence of Dalechamps in Viator (1977). 
Anybody has access? He was trained in Montpellier and worked in Lyon later.
