书籍简介

塔斯库鲁姆的长老加图（M. Porcius Cato）（公元前234-149年），政治家和军人，是拉丁文散文的一位重要作家。他的演讲、关于法学和战争艺术的作品、他对儿子关于各种问题的训诫，以及他关于罗马和意大利的伟大历史作品都已遗失。但我们有他的《农业》（De Agricultura）；简明扼要、严肃睿智、严峻幽默，它给出了农民经济各方面的规则，甚至包括医疗和烹饪食谱，并揭示了家庭生活的有趣细节。

瓦罗（M. Terentius），公元前116-27年，Reate人，以学识渊博而闻名，是一位古学家、历史学家、语言学家、科学学生、农业学家和诗人。他是一个共和主义者，与朱利叶斯-凯撒和解，并被凯撒指定为国家图书馆的监督人。在瓦罗的七十多部作品中，涉及数百卷，我们只有一部关于农业和乡村事务的作品（Rerum Rusticarum）和他关于拉丁语的部分作品（De Lingua Latina; Loeb nos. 333, 334），尽管我们对他的讽刺诗了解很多。这三本关于乡村事务的书都以有效的场景开始，并使用了对话。、这本书涉及农业和农场管理，第二本书涉及羊和牛，第三本书涉及家禽和其他大小动物的饲养，包括蜜蜂和鱼塘。其中有生动的插曲和政治事件的图片背景。

Cato (M. Porcius Cato) the elder (234–149 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), 116–27 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 scène 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 fish ponds. There are lively interludes and a graphic background of political events.
