Carmina Quadragesimalia is a collection of Latin poems composed by students of Christ Church, Oxford, and recited publicly by bachelors of the same house in the School of Natural Philosophy. Dating back to 1761, this work offers a glimpse into the academic and literary traditions of one of Oxford’s most prestigious colleges during the 18th century. The poems, likely centered on Lenten themes (as the title suggests, ’Quadragesimalia’ referring to the forty days of Lent), showcase the students’ mastery of Latin and their engagement with religious and philosophical ideas prevalent at the time. This volume provides valuable insight into the intellectual life of Oxford University and the practice of Latin composition in the Georgian era. For scholars of classical literature, religious history, and the history of education, Carmina Quadragesimalia represents a unique and intriguing primary source.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
