Lisboa: Na Impressão Regia, 1812-1817. 3 v..; 205 mm. Complete collection. This work brings together the poetic production of Elpino Duriense, the Arcadian name of António Ribeiro dos Santos (1745–1818) — a major figure of the Portuguese Enlightenment, jurist, scholar, and librarian, linked to reformist circles and the classical culture of his time. Published by the Royal Printing Office between 1812 and 1817, these Poems comprise a body of work marked by neoclassical taste, formal discipline, and the coexistence of literary exercise and moral and civic reflection.
