Engraved armorial bookplate of William Markham, Becca Lodge, Yorkshire. Varro was known as the most erudite man and the most prolific writer of his times. He is estimated to have written about 620 works. He served as Pompey's legate in Spain and fought at Pharsalus, but was reconciled with Caesar, who made him director of the proposed public library. At the time of the Second Triumvirate his villa was plundered, and he himself was proscribed. He fled, but was pardoned by Augustus. In his writing scarcely a field of contemporary learning was left untouched. Of his many works only this one remains intact, De re rustica libri III. Written when Varro was 80 years old, as an Aristotelian dialogue on farming, in three parts: Agriculture proper; husbandry and the larger animals; and smaller farm stock, such as birds, bees, and fish. This is one of the most important books of its kind extant from antiquity. This edition was edited by Joseph Juste Scaliger (1540-1609) and annotated by Adrien Turnhbe (1512-1565), Pietro Vettori (1499-1585) and Antonio Agustmn (1517-1586). It was printed by the great Henri Estienne. It is quite scarce. Adams V-283; Schreiber 207 ; Renouard 148:2; Schweiger II:1116. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 2

"Alan Titchmarsh has had a passion for gardening for as long as he can remember. Aged 8, he announced to friends that he was going to be the next Percy Thrower, although he thought it was no more than a dream. With the magic touch of a best-selling writer, Alan tells his own story from Ilkley Moor to Pebble Mill and to the final realizing of his dream of becoming TV's favourite gardener. Along the way, the cast of characters includes everyone from Auntie Ethel to Nelson Mandela and the Queen. With great charm, humour and passion, this is probably the best story Alan Titchmarsh has ever told." -- Book
