Gorana Stepanić ; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb

Abstract

Beside his elegies, eclogues, epigrams and odes, Boπšković also wrote five poems. Bošković’s style and technique in these poems, as well as richness in genre, present Bošković as a versatile Latin poet who is well versed in neoclassical poetry. His tendency is to describe motifs from the New Testament - Simon’s prophecy and other motifs are described in several of his poems. Beside his inclination toward Biblical scenes, he also wrote prayers in verses. His work in epical style is very small, but again he proves himself as a good epical poet. Taking into account his elegies, eclogues and epigrams, there is no doubt that he was well educated and versatile Latin poet.
