KORTE INHOUD

'Varro has in some ways been neglected by commentators, and Flach offers the first translation and commentary in German. F. is of course well-suited to write on this topic, having contributed many studies on Roman agriculture, and this is a significant and substantial addition. (...) There is a wide-ranging introduction, which includes an account of Varro's life, the composition of the work, his sources, aspects of the presentation and subject matter of the work, and the manuscript with discussion of variant readings. The translation is an accurate and clear rendition of the Latin, though it would have been prefarable to have text and translation on opposite pages. (...) F.'s contribution will certainly become a standard reference work on Varro the agronomist. (...)
