Authors such as Palladius anonymous editors Geoponika was those who transmitted the ideas and solutions that tarantinos gave in their articles. His ideas are expressed in the texts of these authors are quoted integrally, or are recounted original solutions. In this way they extend the life of Tarantinos texts, which are now lost in the original. In Palladius work is three texts that relate to improving the taste and quality of olive oil. In Geoponika of fourteen heads, which are thought to have been taken from Tarantinos work. Theme head is varied. Texts relating to agriculture, viticulture and winemaking, cultivation of olive trees, the grafting and planting of fruit and flowers, and on fisheries. Studying Tarantinos these texts were published by the Palladius in his work “On agriculture” in the original “Opus Agriculturae” but in Geoponika we can conclude the following. If you werePalladius and anonymous editor Geoponika only known authors who have used the original Tarantinos work. Since we cannot have access to the original Tarantinoso work we cannot determine whether his work is directly quoted. Also we cannot determine the authenticity of some heads was the organizer Geoponika attributed tarantinos. Yet despite all that remained preserved some thoughts and ideas that tarantinos made in his lost work, primarily thanks to the Palladius and anonymous editors Geoponika.

Аутори као што су Паладије и анонимни редактор Геопонике су били они који су преносили идеје и решења која је Тарантинос дао у својим текстовима. Његове идеје које су исказане у текстовима ови аутори су цитирали интегрално, или су препричавали оригинална решења. На овај начин они су продужили трајање Тарантиносових текстова, који су данас изгубљени у оригиналном облику. У Паладијевом делу се налази три текста која се односе на поправљању укуса и квалитета маслиновог уља. У Геопоници се налази четрнаест глава, за које се сматра да су преузете из Тарантисовог дела. Тематика глава је разнолика. Текстови се односе на земљорадњу, виноградарство и винарство, гајење маслина, о калемљењу и садњи воћа и цвећа и о рибарству. Изучавањем Тарантиносових текстова који су објављени од стране Паладија у његовом делу „О пољопривреди“, у оригиналу „Opus Agriculturae“, али и у Геопоници можемо да закључимо следеће. Да су Паладије и приређивач Геопонике једини познати аутори који су користили оригинални Тарантиносов рад. Пошто ми не можемо да имамо увид у оригинални Тарантиносов рад не можемо да утврдимо да ли је његов рад директно цитиран. Такође не можемо да утврдимо веродостојност неких глава које је приређивач Геопонике приписао Тарантиносу. Ипак и поред свега тога остале су сачуване неке мисли и идеје које је Тарантинос дао у свом изгубљеном раду, и то пре свега захваљујући Паладију и анонимном редактору Геопонике. Кључне речи: Тарантинос, Паладије, Геопоника, пољопривреда, економска мисао Introduction The influence of Tarantinos texts on ekonomic thought in the agriculture of the Roman Empire and later the Byzantine Empire was definitely there. Authors for whom we can safely say that they used Tarantinos work on agriculture were Palladius who worked in the fifth century and the anonymous editor of Byzantine encyclopedias on agriculture, which made the compilation of this part of the X century. These two authors have passed some ideas and solutions that Tarantinos wrote in his book that he wrote to us in its original form other losses. Agroeconomic thoughts that are expressed in Tarantinos work of these authors are quoted integrally, or are recounted his decision. Tarantinos work together with the work of other agroeconomic writers that created since the time of ancient Greece and the Roman Empire downloaded and added by the text editor Byzantine agricultural encyclopedias Geoponika.

The suggestion which first inspired me to deal with this special theme came from my friend and teacher.

THE FOLKLORE OF THE GEOPONICA. THERE has come down to us from the tenth century A.D. a curious and interesting collection of precepts on farming and other country pursuits, including stock-breeding and fishing, collectively known as the Geoponica. As it stands it is the work of some Byzantine, who dedicated it to a certain "most righteous emperor Konstantinos," apparently that mild and amiable, if not very able monarch Constantine VII, Porphyrogennetos. The dedication was therefore written somewhere in the neighbourhood of 950. But the editor's work was little more than a moderate use of the Byzantine equivalent of scissors and paste, and even in that he had been preceded by one Cassianus Bassus, who in the sixth century compiled what he called up yepyCas' EKXOyaL,or extracts on agriculture, which he dedicated to his son.

  • Garden Making and Garden Culture in the Geoponika
    This is an extract from: Byzantine Garden Culture edited by Antony Littlewood, Henry Maguire, and Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn published by Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection Washington, D.C. © 2002 Dumbarton Oaks Trustees for Harvard University Washington, D.C. Printed in the United States of America www.doaks.org/etexts.html Khpopoii?a: Garden Making and Garden Culture in the Geoponika Robert Rodgers I have two main objectives in what follows. First, “the Geoponika” (as we call it) is a text that has been relatively ill served by editors, translators, and commentators, and thus its nature and purposes are rather too widely misunderstood. A brief introduction is in order.1 Sec- ond, I should like to look more closely at the content of those books that deal with gardens, orchards, and flowers. What variety and kinds of information are presented? Can one dis- cern contemporary practice from literary lore? How does one fairly and appreciatively use this text as a document illustrative of its era?2 The Geoponika is an agricultural and horticultural encyclopedia aiming to present in digest an accumulated practical lore of the ancients: those things that were collected for their usefulness.3 It is the sole survivor—in Greek—of a long and rich tradition of such agricultural literature (stretching back at least to Hesiod, flourishing in the Hellenistic era, 1 A convenient summary is that of H. Köpstein, “Geoponika,” in Quellen zur Geschichte des frühen Byzanz (4.–9. Jahrhundert): Bestand und Problem, ed. F. Winkelmann and W. Brandes (Amsterdam, 1990), 323–26. The most recent edition is H.

  • Varro and Virgil in the Geoponica R
    Varro and Virgil in the "Geoponica" Rodgers, R H Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Jan 1, 1978; 19, 3; Periodicals Archive Online pg. 277 Varro and Virgil in the Geoponica R. H. Rodgers NLY TWO Latin agricultural writers appear among the forty­ O four authorities named in the Greek Geoponica: the 'Roman' Varro and the poet Virgil. Varro's Rerum rusticarum libri and Virgil's Georgics had found a secure position in the tradition of agri­ cultural literature by the first century. Columella includes both in the list of his illustrious predecessors (1.1.12): (memoremus) et M. Terentium qui (agricolationem) expolivit, mox Vergilium qui carminum quoque potentem fecit. And, with modesty which does not wholly mask the pride he feels in his own literary accomplishment, he claims that his precepts non consummare scientiam, sed adiuvare promittunt (1.1.17). The elder Pliny, in his Natural History, quotes both Varro and Virgil; if he sometimes indicates an impatient disagreement with the latter, Virgil is nonetheless praecelsissimus vates (14.7) and an authority to be reckoned with (magno Vergili praeconio, 18.300).1 Pliny and Columella became in their turn the authorities to whom later writers would refer, and the names of Varro and Virgil (along with Cato) become less frequent or disappear altogether in the agricultural handbooks of later centuries. Palladius, in the early fifth century, cites Virgil but once (3.25.6), a reference he must have taken over from Gargilius Manialis, just as he took Aristotle's name (8.4.4) from Columella (7.3.12) and that of Apuleius (1.35.9) from his Greek source.2 The Byzantine collection known as the Geoponica is the sole survivor of a long and illustrious tradition of Greek agricultural literature.

  • EXPERIENCE, IDEAS and INNOVATIONS Karl W
    THE ISLAMIC TRADITIONS OF AGROECOLOGY: CROSSCULTURAL EXPERIENCE, IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS Karl W. Butzer Introduction intellectual roots of ecological concepts are not grounded in Graeco-Roman hegeography, which emphasized ’peoples and places’ rather than environmental description or human use of the land. Instead, one must look to the agronomic writings, that begin with Hesiod (c 700 Bc) . By the time of Xenophon (writing c 362 Bc) , epics about rural lifeways had given way to literary works on agricultural economics. Aristotle and Theophrastus subsequently laid the scientific foundations of botany, agroecology, soil science and livestock management. About 160 BC, the Roman statesman Cato wrote the earliest preserved treatise on agriculture, beginning a tradition that culminated with Ibn al-Awwam in Islamic Spain CAD 1160. In fact, until the 1700s, the ecological linkages between climate, plants, soils and human sub- sistence were primarily studied as part of that agronomic tradition. To contemporary cultural ecologists, interested in the systemic interactions between people, demography, agrotechnology, and resource management,’ this will hardly seem surprising. The agronomic tradition was grounded in the experience and understanding of the common farmer, but reflects the coherence, the critical facility, and the capacity to innovate, within a literate segment of society.2 Its practitioners sought to understand environmental variables, advances in plant taxonomy, or medicobotanical insights for horticulture, in order to weigh the economic prospects of complementary strategies for field agriculture, arboriculture and pastoralism. Many agronomic authors had farm roots, but most were scholars whose higher goals were directed to various forms of economic or social advocacy. It is this array of systematic, ecological and systemic perspectives that places agronomic science within natural history and distinguishes it from agricultural history.

  • Editing the Geoponica: the Arabic Evidence and Its Importance Carlo Scardino
    Editing the Geoponica: The Arabic Evidence and its Importance Carlo Scardino GRICULTURE was one of the most significant economic factors in pre-industrial societies.1 In the Mediterranean, agricultural practices remained stable despite multiple A 2 political and cultural revolutions. As such, technical agricultural texts kept their relevance for a particularly long time.3 But while the work of Latin authors has largely survived (Cato, Varro, Virgil, Columella), the equally rich corpus of Greek agricultural literature, with the exception of the tenth-century Geoponica from Constantinople, is almost entirely lost. Early Greek agricultural literature In the Homeric poems, agricultural activities appear mostly in allegorical passages, such as the description of Achilles’ shield.4 1 Well summed up by J. Niehoff-Panagiotidis, “Landwirtschaft und ihre Fachsprache: eine Übersicht,” in L. Kalverkämper et al. (eds.), Ein inter- nationales Handbuch zur Fachsprachenforschung und Terminologiewissenschaft (Berlin 1998) 2292–2304. 2 On this continuity see e.g. Niehoff-Panagiotidis, Landwirtschaft 2293. Even the shift to Christianity changed little for the importance of agriculture; cf. J. L. Teall, “The Byzantine Agricultural Tradition,” DOP 25 (1971) 35–59. 3 Thus J. Niehoff and E. Christmann, “Geoponika,” Der Neue Pauly 4 (1998) 938–941. On the importance of ancient agricultural writings compare R. H. Rodgers, “Κηποποιΐα. Garden Making and Garden Culture in the Geoponika,” in V. A. Littlewood et al. (eds.), Byzantine Garden Culture (Washington 2002) 159–175, especially 174–175, which describes how “an educated readership could appreciate a convenient and respectably literary book for more than antiquarian amusement.” 4 Hom. Il. 18.541–589. See W.
