Book Overview
Vacunalia is a collection of essays in verse, written by Edward Davies and published in 1788. The book includes a variety of topics, ranging from politics and religion to science and literature. Some of the essays are original works by Davies, while others are translations from Latin and Greek. The title of the book is a reference to the Roman festival of Vacunalia, which was celebrated in honor of the god of cattle and agriculture. The essays in Vacunalia are written in a variety of poetic forms, including sonnets, odes, and satires. The book is an interesting example of the kind of literary and intellectual culture that flourished in the late 18th century, and provides a window into the concerns and preoccupations of that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
