ABSTRACT

Hoc erat in votis: modus agri non ita magnus, hortus ubi et tecto vicinus iugis aquae fons et paulum silvae super his foret’ (This was among my prayers: a piece of land not very large, where a garden should be and a spring of ever flowing water near the house, and a bit of woodland as well as these) Horace (65–8 BC) https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315870267/74640469-8812-4feb-9346-024caf4177c7/content/ch11_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
