Cassianus Bassus was a 7^th-century lawyer known for his works on agricultural law. His most famous work was ‘Geoponica’, a collection of books on agricultural lore compiled in Constantinople.

This 1781 Leipzig edition was edited by Joannes Nicolas Niclas and features both Latin and Greek translation in double-columns with editor notes.
