Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating connection between the writings of the Roman author Pliny the Elder and the earlier "Chorographia" of Marcus Terentius Varro. The author meticulously examines Pliny's reliance on Varro's geographic descriptions, providing valuable insights into the development of geographic knowledge in ancient Rome. It analyzes passages from Pliny's "Natural History" that align with Varro's "Chorographia," revealing the extent to which Pliny incorporated Varro's work into his own. By examining the context and structure of these passages, the author sheds light on Pliny's methods and motivations as a compiler of geographic information. Furthermore, the book delves into the broader context of ancient geographic scholarship, exploring the influences and limitations that shaped both Varro's and Pliny's writings. It highlights the significance of their contributions to the understanding of the ancient world and their lasting impact on subsequent geographic thought. Ultimately, this book offers a rich tapestry of insights into the complex relationship between two of antiquity's most renowned geographers. It unveils the intricate web of knowledge transmission and underscores the enduring legacy of Varro's "Chorographia" as a foundational work in the history of geography.
