Columellae voluminum editio novissima adhuc exstat, quam Schneider corpori scriptorum rei rusticae veterum Lati norum a 1794 ad 1797 publici iuris facto inseruit. Nunc Lundstroem1 Upsalensis cum Langleto et Strņmbergo di scipulis codicem Sangermanensem denuo confert. Idem multas libros scriptos a viris doctis nondum inspectos exstare narra vit; quare spero fore, ut pancia mensibus Sussi docti Columel lae textum ad aptim0rum codicum fidem redactnm ofl'erant. Equidem a codicibus aestimandis et mutanda lectione quam maxime abstinebo. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exhaustive exploration of the life and writings of L. Junius Moderatus Columella, an acclaimed writer on rural affairs in the first century AD. The author examines Columella's background, influences, and contributions to Roman agricultural literature, setting his work within the broader context of Roman literary and intellectual history. The book delves into Columella's writings, in particular his twelve-volume treatise on agriculture, the mainstay of Roman agricultural knowledge in antiquity. Special attention is paid to the sources Columella drew upon, the novel aspects of his work, and the enduring influence his writings had on subsequent generations of agriculturalists. Throughout the book, the author provides a nuanced analysis of Columella's ideas and techniques, situating them within the broader framework of Roman agricultural practices. The author also examines Columella's engagement with contemporary debates and controversies, offering insights into the intellectual climate of the Roman Empire during the first century AD.
