Шаблон:Short description Hyginus, usually distinguished as Hyginus Gromaticus, was a Latin writer on land-surveying, who flourished in the reign of Trajan (AD 98–117). Fragments of a work on boundaries attributed to him are found in Corpus Agrimensorum Romanorum, a collection of works on land surveying compiled in Late Antiquity.

Name

The cognomen Шаблон:Lang means "agrimensor" or "surveyor" and derives from Шаблон:Lang, one of their common tools in antiquity. Its application to Hyginus derives from the Шаблон:Lang, whose copy of the Шаблон:Lang reads in part Шаблон:Lang[[[:Шаблон:Lang]]] Шаблон:Lang ("The establishment of Kyginus the Surveyor explains well..."). Other manuscripts of the text like the Palatinus Vatic. Lat. 1564 have instead Шаблон:Lang ("The book of Hyginus on surveying explains..."), in which the adjective Шаблон:Lang is grammatically attached to the book rather than the author.Шаблон:Sfn For this reason, some scholars like Brian Campbell avoid the epithet and instead call him simply Hyginus or Hyginus 1 (to distinguish him from another Hyginus whose work appears in the same text).

Works

Hyginus was probably active around the year 100.

His only extant work is Шаблон:Lang [[[:Шаблон:Lang]]] ("On the Establishment [of Boundaries]") in the Шаблон:Lang ("Body of Roman Surveying"), a collection compiled in Late Antiquity. Шаблон:Lang is preserved only in a corrupt text, but its contents include important evidence on the Latin reception of Greek astronomical and mathematical texts. Notably, in his discussion of the establishment of the Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:LangШаблон:Mdashthe main eastШаблон:Ndashwest and northШаблон:Ndashsouth thoroughfares in most Roman townsШаблон:MdashHyginus is decidedly in favour of the construction of the Шаблон:Lang using a gnomon (sundial) and compares this method with other less precise methods such as using the location of sunrise and sunset. The text has some connection with a passage included in Bubnov's Шаблон:Lang ("Geometric Works of Unknown Authors"). Editions of the work appear in C. F. Lachmann's Шаблон:Lang, Vol. I (1848),Шаблон:Sfn Carl Olof Thulin's Шаблон:Lang, Vol. I (1913),Шаблон:Sfn and Brian Campbell's Writings of the Roman Land Surveyors (2000).

Another work by Hyginus, Шаблон:Lang ("Surveying Book on the Division of Fields") is transmitted only as a title and might be the same as Шаблон:Lang.

A treatise on Roman military camps (Шаблон:Lang) was formerly attributed to this Hyginus, but it was probably composed later, around the 3rd centuryШаблон:Sfn and is thus now attributed to "Pseudo-Hyginus".
