I manoscritti della Storia naturale di Plinio, una delle più lunghe opere classiche sopravvissute, sono oltre 120, di cui circa 70 prodotti nell'Italia del XV secolo. Accompagnato da uno studio codicologico e raccogliendo i passaggi selezionati di ogni testimonianza, è questo il primo tentativo - che tiene conto degli studi pioneristici di Detlef Detlefsen (1833-1911) e delle ricerche successive di Hermann Walter - non solo di determinare l'autorità del testo, ma anche di mostrare come la tradizione si sia sviluppata dalla rinascita carolingia al Rinascimento.

This is the first thorough English commentary on the geographical books of Pliny the Elder, written in the AD 70s. Pliny's account is the longest in Latin, and represents the geographical knowledge of that era, when the Roman Empire was the dominant force in the Mediterranean world. The work serves both cultural and ideological functions: much of it is topographical, but it also demonstrates the political need to express a geographical basis for the importance of the Roman state. In five books, Pliny covers the entire world as it was known in his era and includes some of the first information on the extremities of the inhabited region, including Scandinavia and the Baltic, eastern Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. The commentary provides a detailed analysis of all the points Pliny raises: his sources, toponyms, and understanding of the place of the earth in the cosmos.

Selon l’expression créée par le latiniste italien Gian Biagio Conte et popularisée dans la littérature scientifique par l’historien français Claude Nicolet, l’Histoire naturelle de Pline l’Ancien (C. Plinius Secundus, 23-79 p.C.) peut être considérée comme un véritable "inventaire du monde" romain autour du Ier siècle p.C. Cette appréciation ne se limite pas aux livres 3-6, consacrés à la géographie. En fait, les 37 livres de cette œuvre qui transmit au Modernes le savoir des Anciens peuvent être utilisés entre autres dans une perspective à la fois géographique et ethnographique. Car Pline, dans son travail de compilation savante et avisée, conduit avec une discipline de fer (son neveu et fils adoptif Pline le Jeune le raconta dans une célèbre épître : "il avait un génie vigoureux, une ardeur extraordinaire, une très grande puissance de veille. Il commençait à travailler à la lumière (…) pour s’assurer non d’heureux auspices, mais le temps d’étudier, et cela une fois la nuit bien tombée" Lettres, III, 5), ne s’est pas limité à rassembler des informations tirées des auteurs romains et "étrangers", pour la plupart des Grecs, mais a régulièrement mis en valeur les premiers, dans l’ambition de s’affranchir du poids des autorités grecques et de présenter le monde vu par un Romain. C’est sur le double aspect d’héritage culturel et de recension, deux dimensions généralement associées au terme d’inventaire, que nous avons voulu insister pour donner les lignes directrices de ce recueil d’articles, issu d’un séminaire tenu à Paris-Sorbonne (Sorbonne Université depuis 2018), au premier semestre de l’année universitaire 2016/2017. De l’Afrique du nord au Caucase et à l’Iran, en passant par la Grèce, l’Asie mineure et l’Égypte (sans négliger, bien entendu, la ville de Rome ni l’Italie), nous proposons une série de contributions dans le but d’apporter de nouveaux matériaux à l’appui de l’interprétation d’un texte fondamental pour la compréhension du Principat romain.

The Elder Pliny's Natural History is one of the largest and most extraordinary works to survive from antiquity. It has often been referred to as an encyclopedia, usually without full awareness of what such a characterisation implies. In this book, Dr Doody examines this concept and its applicability to the work, paying far more attention than ever before to the varying ways in which it has been read during the last two thousand years, especially by Francis Bacon and Denis Diderot. This book makes a major contribution not just to the study of the Elder Pliny but to our understanding of the cultural processes of ordering knowledge widespread in the Roman Empire and to the reception of classical literature and ideas.

This title argues that Pliny's encyclopaedic "Natural History" offers a sophisticated account of the world as empire, in which art can be used to expound a Roman imperial agenda. This text considers how the medium affects Pliny's presentation and uses of art in this context.

"The Naturalis historia" by Pliny the Elder provided Renaissance scholars, artists and architects with details of ancient architectural practice and long-lost architectural wonders--material that was often unavailable elsewhere in classical literature. Pliny's descriptions frequently included the dimensions of these buildings, as well as details of their unusual construction materials and ornament. This book describes, for the first time, how the passages were interpreted from around 1430 to 1580, that is, from Alberti to Palladio. Chapters are arranged chronologically within three interrelated sections--antiquarianism; architectural writings; drawings and built monuments--thereby making it possible for the reader to follow the changing attitudes to Pliny over the period. The resulting study establishes the Naturalis historia as the single most important literary source after Vitruvius's "De architectura".
