Réunion complète et peu commune des cinq traités d’agriculture publiés séparément par Robert Estienne en 1543.
Remarquable édition parisienne exécutée par l'humaniste Robert Estienne, imprimeur du roi François Ier. Il inaugure ici un caractère italique d'une grande beauté, gravé par Claude Garamont. L'histoire des traités latins d'agriculture et de vie rurale se confond avec celle des Scriptores rei rusticae. Sous ce titre conventionnel, ont été réunis les quatre agronomes : Caton l'Ancien, Varron, Columelle et Palladius.
Chacun de ces traités se vendait séparément ; toutes les parties sont précédées d’un titre et ont leur propre pagination. Le cinquième tome renferme les commentaires et recherches philologiques de la fine fleur des exégètes italiens : Philippe Beroalde, Giorgio Merula, Alde Manuce et Piero Vettori. Renouard, Estienne, p. 55, n° 2 ; Schreiber, The Estiennes, 70a-70e (« each of the 5 parts was originally issued separately, and it is most uncommon to find complete sets »).
5 parties en un volume petit in-8 (169 x 104 mm). (Columelle : manque le dernier feuillet, blanc. Taches brunes angulaires aux premier et dernier tiers du volume.) Reliure anglaise du XVIIIe siècle : veau moucheté, dos à nerfs orné, tranches rouges (frottements).
A rare complete set of the 5 parts of the Scriptores rei rustica, each issued separately by Robert Estienne in 1543.
