ABSTRACT
The book by Liger and Torre (1720) was the first volume of three that were to comprise a Spanish version 'considerably augmented' of Maison rustique, itself translated from Praedium rusticum by Charles Estienne (1554). It described beekeeping in Spain between the 1500s and early 1700s-much based on the books by Herrera and Gil - and also showed an apiary with both types of hive (Figure 25.3c).
