Eratosthenis Carminvm Reliqviae presents a meticulously compiled collection of the surviving fragments of poetry attributed to Eratosthenes, the renowned Greek polymath of the Hellenistic period. This volume, originally published in 1872, offers scholars and enthusiasts alike a valuable resource for exploring the literary output of a figure celebrated for his contributions to mathematics, geography, and astronomy.
Compiled in Latin, this edition gathers the scattered remnants of Eratosthenes' poetic works, providing essential context and critical apparatus for understanding their significance within the broader landscape of classical literature. Though fragmentary, these relics offer glimpses into the intellectual and artistic world of ancient Greece, inviting readers to engage with the enduring legacy of one of history's most versatile thinkers. A crucial addition to any collection of classical texts.
