[Scriptores rei rusticae:] MARCUS PORCIUS CATO (c.154 B.C.). Enarrationes. De re rustica . [With:] MARCUS TERENTIUS VARRO (116-27 B.C.). De re rustica ; L. JUNIUS MODERATUS COLUMELLA (4-70 A.D.). De re rustica . Commented by Julius Pompanius Laetus; RUTILIUS TAURUS PALLADIUS (fl.4th century A.D.) De re rustica . Edited by Franciscus Colucia, Georgius Merula and Philippus Beroaldus (1453-1505). Reggio Emilia: Franciscus de Mazalibus, 20 November 1499. A crisp copy. Fifth edition, a reprint from the 1496 edition published by Dionysius Bertochus. The conjunction of the Cato, Varro and Columella texts can be found from the Middle Ages, and their appearance together in a manuscript, now lost, was the basis for this edition and most of the 15th-century manuscripts. Together (with Palladius), they form the chief texts on agriculture and rural life, dealing with crops, vines, olives, bees, cattle-raising, and (in Cato) old customs and superstitions thought to aid in effective cultivation.
