De Culicis Auctore, published in 1903, presents a classical Latin poem centered on the seemingly trivial subject of the mosquito. Penned by Eugenius Vitrano, this work exemplifies the tradition of classical poetry, offering readers a glimpse into the poetic sensibilities and linguistic artistry of the era. While the topic may seem unconventional, the poem likely employs the mosquito as a vehicle for exploring broader themes of nature, annoyance, or perhaps even satire, characteristic of classical literary forms.
This edition makes accessible a piece of Latin literature that may have been previously challenging to find, offering students and enthusiasts of classical languages a valuable resource. Whether approached for its linguistic merit, its unusual subject matter, or its place within the larger body of classical poetry, De Culicis Auctore provides a unique and engaging reading experience.
