Delle cose de la villa libro secondo (-V) ; Libro degl'Abberi
This is a manuscript copy of Columella's Latin treatise on agriculture, here in Italian as Delle cose de la villa, copied by hand around 1700 for a scholarly reader interested in estate management and farming. Its pages are dense handwritten Italian text in brown ink, with a large hand-drawn letter T and the name Cicero-style headings at the top, giving a designer a sober, archival page layout to borrow for rules, columns, and typographic texture.
