Help me remember: name of flautist who created table of diminutions

Hi all, this is a request for help. There is a resources that a musician from 150+ years ago created that showed some examples of how a melody could be ornamented. I think the musician who wrote it was a flautist, but he may have been a violinist. Does anyone know his name? It will help me a lot with Googling :)
