This book studies extracts from Pliny's Natural History, made by several Latin writers in the fifth to seventh centuries CE, that are not found in extant manuscripts of Pliny, arguing that these extracts derive from a hitherto unsuspected augmented edition of Pliny, probably produced around 300-350 CE.
