Praeter Librum De Re Rustica Quae Extant is a Latin text attributed to Marcus Porcius Cato (Cato the Elder), a significant figure in Roman history. This work provides invaluable insight into agricultural practices in ancient Rome, offering details on crop cultivation, animal husbandry, and farm management.

Edited by Heinrich Jordan, this edition presents the surviving fragments and excerpts related to agriculture beyond Cato's well-known treatise, "De Agri Cultura". As a primary source, this text is essential for historians, classicists, and anyone interested in the daily life and economic foundations of the Roman Republic. It sheds light on the practical knowledge and methods that sustained Roman society and contributed to its growth.
