Second Giunta edition, a reprint of the 1515 edition with the addition of commentaries and notes by Pomponio Leto (1428-1498) and Filippo Beroaldo (1453-1505), of the corpus of writings by the so-called “Scriptores rei rusticae”, which include Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BC), Marcus Porcius Cato (234-149 BC), Lucius Iunius Moderatus Columella (fl. 1^st cent.), and Rutilius Taurus Aemilianus Palladius (fl. 4^th cent.). The text was edited by Niccolò Angeli. The edition includes a preface signed by Filippo Giunti, addressed to Francesco Vettori, as in the 1515 edition; a subject index by Niccolò Angeli; a reprint of the preface by Aldo Manuzio addressed to the reader; and a poem by Nicander “in correctoris laudem”.
