The book presents succinct analyses of the work of more than 50 Greek and Roman writers who have composed treatises on the cultivation of crops and livestock, from the sixth century B.C. to the fourth century A.D. The author has compiled and organized excerpts from these texts, offering the reader a comprehensive overview of ancient agricultural knowledge. Delving into topics that range from the optimal orientation of a country house to the cultivation of olives, the book showcases the Romans' sophisticated understanding of the natural world and their enduring contributions to agricultural science. These texts offer not only a glimpse into the daily life of farmers in the ancient world but also provide valuable insights into the development of scientific thought and the history of technology. This volume is an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient history, agriculture, or the history of science.

Excerpt from M. Terenti Varronis Rerum Rusticarum Libri Tres
Marciani codicis lectiones adnotaverat, postea huius quoque scripturas, sed minus accurate excerptas et rubro colore ab illis distinctas adscripsit., et Victorius, qui eum ex Medicea bibliotheca a se depromptum esse scribit, saepius eius mentionem fecit et propter formam litterarum eum gallicanum vel gallicis litteris scriptum vel semiveterem dicere consuevit. Praeter bos libros collatum babgbam tertium Laurentia num 51, 1 vel primm quinti decimi vel extremis quarti decimi saeculi annis scriptum, quem, ut a re liquie distinguerem, Florentinum dixi. Continet autem Catonis et Varronis libros. Recentiore manu multa in eo correcta sunt, quorum pars ex Mediceo, quem modo dixi, deprompta est.
