MARCUS PORCIUS CATO: ON AGRICULTURE / MARCUS TERENTIUS VARRO: ON AGRICULTURE
Language: English
Published by Harvard University Press, 1960
ISBN 10: 0674993136 ISBN 13: 9780674993136
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. DJ has small tears and chipping. ; Loeb Classical Library No. 283; 543 pages; Cato (M. Porcius Cato) the elder (234149 BCE) of Tusculum, statesman and soldier, was the first important writer in Latin prose. His speeches, works on jurisprudence and the art of war, his precepts to his son on various subjects, and his great historical work on Rome and Italy are lost. But we have his De Agricultura; terse, severely wise, grimly humorous, it gives rules in various aspects of a farmer's economy, including even medical and cooking recipes, and reveals interesting details of domestic life. Varro (M. Terentius) , 11627 BCE, of Reate, renowned for his vast learning, was an antiquarian, historian, philologist, student of science, agriculturist, and poet. He was a republican who was reconciled to Julius Caesar and was marked out by him to supervise an intended national library. Of Varro's more than seventy works involving hundreds of volumes we have only one on agriculture and country affairs (Rerum Rusticarum) and part of his work on the Latin language (De Lingua Latina; Loeb nos. 333, 334) , though we know much about his Satires. Each of the three books on country affairs begins with an effective mise en scene and uses dialogue. The first book deals with agriculture and farm management, the second with sheep and oxen, the third with poultry and the keeping of other animals large and small, including bees and fishponds. There are lively interludes and a graphic background of political events.
