Ginette Vagenheim (Université de Rouen-Normandie)
Marcus Terentius Varro’s Aviary (On agriculture) through the eyes of the Humanists

Abstract:
In their desire to live as the ancient Romans, the Humanists attempted to discover in their texts how the ancients lived and to imitate aspects of their daily lives. From this perspective, some erudite figures (like the members of Paolo Giovio’s family) with the help of antiquarians (like Pirro Ligorio) tried to reconstruct the architecture of the famous Aviary that the Roman Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 a.C.n.) described, as part of his Villa in Casinum, in his third book on Agriculture (III,15,7-10). Giulio Giovio’s comment on Varro’s description was originally accompanied by a drawing of the building that is lost. This seminar will analyse Giovio’s comment in the light of the unique renaissance drawing of the Aviary that survives--that of Pirro Ligorio. Such an analysis will give us valuable information that can help to resolve the longstanding academic debate on the form and function of Varro’s Aviary.

Biography:
Ginette Vagenheim is Professor of Latin Language and Literature and Humanistic Philology at the Université de Rouen in Haute-Normandie, Life Member of Clare Hall in Cambridge and Former Fellow of Harvard University and Columbia University (NYC).
