Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COLUMELLA, LUCIUS JUNIUS MODERATUS , of Gades, writer on
agriculture
 , contemporary of
Seneca
  the philosopher, flourished about the middle of the 1st
century
  A.D. His extant works treat, with
great
  fulness and in a diffuse but not inelegant style which well represents the silver age, of the cultivation of all kinds of corn and
garden
  vegetables, trees,
flowers
 , the vine, the olive and other fruits, and of the rearing of cattle, birds, fishes and bees. They consist of the twelve books of the De re rustica (the tenth, which treats of gardening, being in dactylic hexameters in imitation of Virgil), and of a book De arboribus, the second book of an earlier and less elaborate
work
  on the same subject.
The best complete edition is by J. G. Schneider (1794). Of a new edition by K. J. Lundstrom, the tenth book appeared in 1902 and De arboribus in 1897. There are
English
  translations by R. Bradley (1725), and
anonymous
  (1745); and
treatises
 , De Columellae vita et scriptis, by V. Barberet (1887), and G. R. Becher (1897), a compact dissertation with notes and references to authorities.
