Book Description
Excerpt from The Trees, Shrubs, and Plants of Virgil In the sixteenth century several botanists interested themselves in the plants of the ancient Romans. Among them were two able Italians, Pietro Andrea Mathioli (1500-1577), whose name has been given to the cruciferous genus of stock, and Andrea Cesalpini (1519-1603), from whom is named the leguminous genus of Caesalpinia. Over Dodoens or Dodonaeus they had the advantage of being natives and inhabitants of Italy. Their works were studied by John Martyn, Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge, who in 1741 published an edition of the Georgics with an English translation. His works deal with the substance rather than with the language of Virgil's poem. He had been for some years in correspondence with Linné, from whom he probably received help. Although Linné was occasionally in error, a list of the scientific names will show how skilfully he had studied the ancient Roman writings. Martyn made two or three bad blunders, but his book is a monument of clear observation and sound common sense. It was followed in 1749 by an edition of the Eclogues.

Book Description
Virgil's book of bucolic verse, the Eclogues, defines a green space separate from the outside worlds both of other Roman verse and of the real world of his audience. However, the boundaries between inside and outside are deliberately porous. The bucolic natives are aware of the presence of Rome, and Virgil himself is free to enter their world. Virgil's bucolic space is, in many ways, a poetic replication of the public and private gardens of his Roman audience - enclosed green spaces which afforded the citizen sheltered social and cultural activities, temporary respite from the turbulence of public life, and a tamed landscape in which to play out the tensions between the simple ideal and the complexities of reality. This book examines the Eclogues in terms of the relationship between its contents and its cultural context, making connections between the Eclogues and the representational modes of Roman art, Roman concepts of space and landscape, and Roman gardens.
