Poete et agronome, Columelle est ne a Cadix au debut de l'ere chretienne. Sous l'influence de son oncle, il se serait interesse de bonne heure a l'agriculture qu'il dut mettre en pratique toute sa vie dans ses deux proprietes, d'Albre et d'Ardee. Outre le De Agricultura, nous avons conserve de lui un petit opuscule de jeunesse, Les Arbres, qui etait sans doute la deuxieme partie d'un ouvrage plus vaste. L'auteur y presente de maniere methodique les preceptes et recommandations concernant la viticulture d'abord, puis l'oleiculture et l'arboriculture. On y retrouve toute la maniere de Columelle, qui aime a meler la rigueur scientifique a la pratique et meme a la poesie. Homme de terrain et de compilation, Columelle se plait autant a expliquer les techniques de l'epamprage et du greffage qu'a citer Virgile.
Notre edition rassemble en un volume ce bref traite d'arboriculture. L'introduction fait rapidement le point sur la question de l'authenticite, puis resitue le texte dans l'?uvre de Columelle. Le plan de l'ouvrage est analyse, de meme que les auteurs cites. La tradition manuscrite et l'histoire des editions sont relatees en detail et completees par une bibliographie sommaire. Le texte est assorti d'un riche commentaire et d'une bibliographie. L'ouvrage est en outre enrichi d'un Index Nominum et Rerum.
