Well, I've stayed out of this thread because I thought for sure someone 
would post a pile of references. however, here are a few Florilegium 
files on period agriculture. Whether the books given talk about the 
amount of land needed for the livlihood of one person, I don't know.

These are in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section:
p-agriculture-bib (19K) 3/23/99   Bibliography of period agricultural
                                      practices by Laurie Brandt 
(Pegasus)
   (I know this lady has revised this bibliography with a number of 
additions. However, she is selling copies, so she hasn't given me an 
improved version for the Florilegium)
p-agriculture-msg (14K) 2/ 5/01   Period agriculture. References.
Palladius-art    (41K) 11/18/99   Palladius' treatise on gardening 1420.
