Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the earliest known text on agriculture and is comprised of a translation from the original Latin of Varro, detailing the author's vast expertise and observations on farming practices during the 1st century BCE. Though much has changed since its original composition, the author's insights into soil analysis, crop cultivation, animal husbandry, and the construction and maintenance of farm buildings remain relevant to this day. Varro's observations are grounded in his experience managing multiple large farms, and are as much about the art of farming as they are practical guidance. Delving into the history of farming techniques, the book also explores the intersection of agriculture, economics, and culture through its exploration of the role of farming in Roman society and the religious practices and rituals associated with the agricultural year. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
