Rare Paris edition of the collected works of the Roman polymath Marcus Terentius Varro.
A prolific scholar and writer, Varro (116-27 BCE) is considered one of ancient Rome’s most learned men. Of his vast corpus, only De re rustica and De lingua latina survive. This edition includes scholarly annotations by classical scholars Pietro Vettori (1499-1585), Antonio Agustín (1517-1586), Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540-1609), and Adrien Turnèbe (1512-1565).
De re rustica is regarded as the first scientific treatise on agriculture and food production. Drawing on his experience as the owner of a large farm near Rome, Varro set out a methodical and practical account of rural economy, the reflections of an observant and successful farmer who had personally tested all that he describes.
