Contribution à l'étude de la reconstitution des vignobles. Les Cépages-Greffons Ed 1910 (French edition) by Jean Burnat

Contribution to the Study of Vineyard Reconstruction is a fundamental book for anyone interested in the history of viticulture. Written by Jean Burnat and initially published between 1910 and 1913, this work is part of a scientific approach aimed at documenting the graft-varieties used to reconstruct vineyards, particularly in the Vaud region.

This reissue, offered by Hachette BNF, is part of a heritage preservation policy of French literature. The BNF (National Library of France) digitized the original edition, allowing Hachette Livre to reprint it on demand, thus giving a second life to this historic text.

The work is not only a testimony to the agricultural practices of the time but also a reflection of the intellectual currents of that period. Some of these currents might be considered outdated or questionable today, but they remain important witnesses to the evolution of ideas in France. Therefore, this book can present a scientific or historical interest for researchers, historians, or enlightened enthusiasts.

The book is presented in a paperback format, with a soft cover for easy handling. Its dimensions of 23.4 x 15.6 cm and its weight of 238 g make it a manageable and pleasant book to consult. With its 160 pages, it offers a dense and rich content, reflecting the seriousness of the study conducted by Jean Burnat.

Viticulture enthusiasts, historians, and all those interested in ampelography (the science of grape varieties) will find in this book a wealth of valuable information. The Graft-Varieties, as presented in this work, allows an understanding of the challenges faced by winegrowers of the time in reconstructing their vineyards after difficult periods, such as the phylloxera crises that devastated many vineyards in Europe.

The reprinting of this text by Hachette BNF is a unique opportunity to rediscover rare writings while contributing to the preservation of French cultural and literary heritage. Although some passages may reflect ideas that are no longer accepted today, they are nonetheless important for understanding the historical context in which they were written.
