| description | The objective of this article is to approach authors and works of Latin technical literature, specifically in its agrarian aspect. In order to achieve this, we firstly place this literary species in the context of previous technical works composed in Rome. We then present information about the agronomists – Columella (1st century AD), Gargilius Martialis (3rd century AD), and Palladius (4th–5th century AD) – who were chosen to incorporate our studies. Following this initial task, a commentary of the general structure of their texts was conducted. As a result, Columella’s work is comprehensive and well developed at the linguistic level, serving as the foundation for other authors’ technical documentation. In Martialis, we find an agronomist who was in charge of composing texts transmitted in an incomplete way, casting doubt on their articulation. Opus Agriculturae, a work by Palladius, adopted the “original” calendar format while still owing a great deal to Columella and Martialis, either as its sources or in additional aspects. In order to show Palladius’ relative independence from the writing patterns of his forebears, we lastly contrasted two passages from Opus Agriculturae with the ideas contained in the excerpts of Columella and Gargilius Martialis that served as their foundation. |

El objetivo de este artículo es acercarse a autores y obras de la literatura técnica latina, específicamente en su vertiente agraria. Para ello, primero contextualizamos esta especie literaria entre las otras obras técnicas escritas en Roma. A continuación, introdujimos datos sobre los agrónomos elegidos para integrar nuestros análisis, es decir, Columela (siglo. I d.C.), Gargílio Marcial (siglo. III D.C.) y Paladio (siglo. IV-V D.C.). A esta primera tarea le siguió el examen de cómo se estructuran generalmente sus respectivos textos. Así, la obra de Colomela es extensa y bien elaborada en el ámbito lingüístico, siendo la base para la documentación técnica de autores posteriores. En Marcial encontramos a un ingeniero agrónomo responsable de escribir textos transmitidos de manera incompleta y plantear dudas sobre la propia articulación. El Opus Agriculturae de Paládio asumió la conformación "original" de un calendario, aunque debe mucho a Columela y Marcial, como fuentes o en aspectos adicionales. Por último, comparamos dos fragmentos de Opus agriculturae con los puntos de las obras de Columela y Gargílio Marcial que les sirvieron de base, con el objetivo de demostrar la relativa independencia de Palladium de los estándares de escritura de estos predecesores.

Em Marcial encontramos um agrônomo responsável pela escrita de textos transmitidos de forma incompleta e suscitando dúvidas a respeito da própria articulação. A obra Opus agriculturae, de Paládio, assumiu a “original” conformação de um calendário, sem deixar de dever muito a Columela e Marcial, como fontes ou em aspectos adicionais. Por fim, comparamos dois trechos de Opus agriculturae com os pontos das obras de Columela e Gargílio Marcial que lhes serviram como base, com o objetivo de demonstrar a relativa independência de Paládio dos padrões de escrita desses predecessores.
