Poema Alexandri Pope De homine, Jacobi Thomson et Thomae Gray selecta carmina

This 1774 Latin edition features Alexander Pope's philosophical poem "De homine," alongside selected poems by James Thomson and Thomas Gray. Giovanni Costa, a prominent figure of his time, likely compiled or edited this collection, offering readers a glimpse into the intellectual and literary landscape of the 18th century. Pope's "De homine" explores themes of human nature, society, and the individual's place in the universe, while the inclusion of Thomson and Gray provides a broader representation of poetic styles and concerns during this period. This volume serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in Latin literature, the Enlightenment, and the history of ideas.
