- Description: Printed in Latin gothic type with handwritten marginalia (also in Latin). This 'book of country things' was first published in 1482 as a combined volume containing the works of four leading classical authors on agriculture and country affairs. Cato's De Agri Cultura deals with the development of vine, olive and fruit growing. Varro's Rerum rusticarum is divided into three books dealing with farm buildings and labour, the breeding, management and feeding of animals especially sheep, and birds, fowl, bees and fish ponds. Columella's De re rustica is concerned with the care, management, breeding and feeding of all domesticated animals. Palladius produced a 14-book work on agriculture.
