	Marcus Terentius Varro - LoveToKnow 1911
		Varro also studied at Athens, especially under the philosopher Antiochus of Ascalon, whose aim it was to lead back the Academic school from the scepticism of Arcesilaus and Carneades to the tenets of the early Platonists, as he understood them.
		Varro was not surpassed in the compass of his writings by any ancient, not even by any one of the later Greek philosophers, to some of whom tradition ascribes a fabulous number of separate works.
		Varro's etymologies could be only a priori guesses, but he was well aware of their character, and very clearly states at the outset of the fifth book the hindrances that barred the way to sound knowledge.

	Publius Terentius Varro - LoveToKnow 1911
		Accordingly to Jerome, Varro did not begin to study Greek literature until his thirty-fifth year.
		The age was prolific of epics, both historical and mythological, and that of Varro seems to have held a high rank among them.
		Varro was also the author of a Cosmographia, or Chorographia, a geographical poem imitated from the Greek of Eratosthenes or of Alexander of Ephesus, surnamed Lychnus; and of an Ephemeris, a hexameter poem on weather-signs after Aratus, from which Virgil has borrowed.

	Issue 30 - Varro - De lingua latina X
		Taylor emphasises Varro was a man in public life; a polymath whose writings range from literature to agriculture; a grammarian whose analysis of language drew from a general interest in culture and scholarship.
		Varro's reputation slipped after the sixteenth century, and it is only during the twentieth century that he was again taken seriously.
		Varro is only a couple of generations later than Crates of Mallos, from whom stems the systematisation of Roman rhetoric and grammar.

	Marcus Terentius Varro Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BC) was the greatest Roman scholar and an incredibly prolific writer.
		Varro named his satires after the Greek Menippus of Gadara, a Cynic philosopher of the 3d century B.C. who wrote in a seriocomic style and gave humorous expression to serious views, and whose works were a mixture of prose and poetry.
		Varro wrote Res rusticae for his wife, Fundania, in haste, he said, for "if man is a bubble, all the more so is an old man. My eightieth year warns me to pack my bags before I set forth on the journey out of life." However, Varro lived for another 10 years.

	Varro (116-28 B.C.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Marcus Terentius VARRO, called by Cicero and by St. Augustine "the most learned of the Romans," was of an ancient Sabine clan, which had been of consular rank for two centuries.
		Varro was brought up in the old Roman traditions of simple hardihood, and in the best Greek and Latin learning of his age.
		Varro was the most voluminous as well as the most learned of the Romans, for he had written, he tells us, 490 books; but the full tale seems to be 620 "books" in 74 works.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.06.40
		To the Italian humanist, M. Terentius Varro was little more than a great name; his fate was a sad expression of the failure to preserve the classical past.
		In Varro's works Greek could be combined with Latin, prose with poetry, humor with philosophy, the country with the city, past with present, and the human with the divine.
		The impulse to unify sets Varro in an interesting contrast to most of his contemporaries (especially Cicero and Caesar), who were busy using their learning to mark out boundaries and lay down rules, whether for the writing of literature or the conduct of life.

		Varro's chronology of the Republic, a list of Consuls basically, was so highly regarded that it was inscribed on Augustus' triumphal arch in Rome.
		In spite of this, Lendering [1] lists several reasons that Varro should not be followed and the Consul list implied in Livy should be prefered.
		Lendering's argument is based on the observation that the removal of certain problematical elements from Varro's chronolgy results in a greater consistancy with other contemporary sources.

	BMCR-L: BMCR 2002.06.40, Burkhart Cardauns, Marcus Terentius Varro
		The great merit of Burkhart Cardauns' "introduction" to Varro is that it stays rigorously focused on the surviving texts, such as they are, and largely eschews the speculative reconstruction and Quellenforschung that have played so large a role in the scholarship.
		From Quintilian's day onward Varro's literary talent (as opposed to his learning) has usually been dismissed as second-rate or worse, and so it is both pleasant and thought-provoking to watch C. discuss examples of Varro's skill as a narrator (at the conclusion of Res Rusticae 1) and as a wit.
		The main weight of discussion falls on the Antiquitates, not a surprising emphasis given C.'s longstanding involvement with this text and with the general subject of Varro's theology.[[3]] The latter topic also happens to be one of the most avidly discussed in Varronian scholarship.
