Antique bind. in m. leather, titles and fillets in gold on spine. Cards 302 i.e 303 num, Roman characters, on last card letterpress mark on black ground. A few traces of use but nice specimen with wide margins. Coll: a-z⁶ &⁶ [con]⁶ [rum]⁶ A-B⁶ C⁴ D-M⁶ N⁶ (N6+χ1)O⁶ P⁸ Q-Z⁶ ET⁸.Well complete specimen with the paper between the N and O notebooks, often missing in many copies. Fine Bolognese impression after that of 1494 by Faelli himself, of this well-known collection of Latin writers on agricultural subjects, in the review provided by the Bolognese humanist Filippo Beroaldo. The "Libri de re rustica" or here "Opera agricolationum" is a collection of prose texts on agriculture and peasant life, left by the four great ancient agronomists, Cato the Elder, Varro, Columella and Palladius. It describes the cultivation of fields and gardens, beekeeping, fishing, and the rural economy. We find cooking and medicinal recipes and the work of sowing along the seasons. These texts are traditionally printed in collective editions and adopt a scientific and didactic tone. Until the mid-sixteenth century these texts were published regularly and collectively under the control of major European printers, first in Italy, the cradle of humanism, then in France and Germany. Later editions testify not only to a renewed interest in agrarian matters but primarily and essentially to a rediscovery of ancient texts through printing; their dissemination was one of the cornerstones of the Renaissance, a vast revisiting of the ancient world.
