Tory but with types designed by Claude Garamond specifically for the printing house. It was Robert's attention to typography during this time that was unparalleled by his successors.This sammmelband on a series of works on Roman works on agriculture discusses farming and husbandry for each month of the year including details on grafting, plus discussion on the number of daylight in a calendar year.
