Résumé
"Histoire des légumes" by Georges Gibault is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the geographical origins, historical cultivation, and evolution of various vegetables, particularly those grown in temperate climates of Europe. Gibault seeks to document the journey of these plants from their wild ancestors to their cultivated forms, contributing to a broader understanding of agricultural history and civilization. The opening of the text sets the stage for Gibault's exploration by discussing the current understanding of the primitive homelands of cultivated plants and the limitations of available archaeological evidence. He expresses a desire to trace the historical paths of these vegetables, revealing their transformations through natural selection and human cultivation. The preface also reflects on the author's previous publications on individual vegetables, indicating that this comprehensive study will categorize and alphabetize the information for ease of reference. This establishes a foundation for readers interested in the history of horticulture and botanical origins, promising thorough research presented engagingly.
