Don't put all your eggs in one basket

I understand what it means but where did it come from? Does any one know its origin?
Thanks for your help!

This doesn't have an origin but it does show that the phrase is very old.

PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET - "To rely too much on one resource or one line of effort; to risk everything on a single venture.The same thought was embodied in a proverb now forgotten: 'Venture not all in one bottom.' Giovanni Torriano, writing on popular phrases in 1666, used one expression to define the other: 'To put all ones Eggs in a Paniard, viz., to hazard all in one bottom." From From The Dictionary of Cliches by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985).
