Description

En avril 1912, les archeologues de Pompei firent la decouverte, dans la maison du mensor Verus, d'un curieux instrument, la groma. Compose d'une croix placee sur un support pivotant et de fils a plomb, l'outil servait a determiner des niveaux et a tracer des angles. D'ou le terme de gromatiques englobant les maitres de l'arpentage latin. Non que les Romains aient ete les premiers a instaurer cette discipline, largement pratiquee par les Egyptiens qui remesuraient chaque annee les proprietes dont les limites avaient ete effacees par les crues du Nil, puis par les Grecs, mais ceux-ci en firent un des fondements de leur empire: posseder, et donc delimiter la terre, est au coeur du systeme politique romain. Ainsi les fameuses centuriations, qui dessinent les proprietes selon des axes orthonormes, et sont visibles encore aujourd'hui non seulement dans les campagnes de Romagne mais aussi en Tunisie. Notre edition est le premier volume d'un projet inedit, presenter l'ensemble des textes latins relatifs a l'arpentage. Le tome I rassemble les ecrits d'Hygin le gromatique, contemporain, vraisemblablement, de Vespasien, et de Frontin, l'auteur bien connu des Aqueducs de Rome et des Stratagemes. L'Introduction generale fait le point sur l'ensemble de nos connaissances relatives a la gromatique: le lecteur trouvera ainsi toutes les informations necessaires a la bonne intelligence du texte, qu'il soit erudit ou simplement curieux de cette discipline originale, theorique autant que pratique et si fidele a l'esprit romain. L'introduction est en outre assortie d'une bibliographie sommaire ainsi que d'un historique detaille de la tradition manuscrite. Chacun des deux traites est precede d'une notice explicative qui presente le texte et son auteur. Enfin l'ouvrage est assorti de notes, de figures, d'illustrations, d'un Index Verborum Notabilium et d'un Index Nominum.
