Terentius), 116-27 BCE, of Reate, renowned for his vast learning, was an antiquarian, historian, philologist, student of science, agriculturist, and poet. He was a republican who was reconciled to Julius Caesar and was marked out by him to supervise an intended national library. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOf Varro's more than seventy works involving hundreds of volumes we have only his treatise On Agriculture (in Loeb number 283) and part of his monumental achievement \u003ci\u003eDe Lingua Latina\u003c\/i\u003e, On the Latin Language, a work typical of its author's interest not only in antiquarian matters but also in the collection of scientific facts. Originally it consisted of twenty-five books in three parts: etymology of Latin words (books 1-7); their inflexions and other changes (books 8-13); and syntax (books 14-25). Of the whole work survive (somewhat imperfectly) books 5 to 10. These are from the section (books 4-6) which applied etymology to words of time and place and to poetic expressions; the section (books 7-9) on analogy as it occurs in word formation; and the section (books 10-12) which applied analogy to word derivation. Varro's work contains much that is of very great value to the study of the Latin language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Loeb Classical Library edition of \u003ci\u003eOn the Latin Language\u003c\/i\u003e is in two volumes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49777905828113,"sku":"GOR002280778","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50992021766417,"sku":"CIN0943231167VG","price":4.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0943231167.jpg?v=1751298498","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/top-teams-book-katsuhiko-tokunaga-9780943231167","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
