Muscipula: Sive Cambro-muo-maghia, by Edward Holdsworth, is a celebrated Latin poem that offers a satirical glimpse into academic life at Cambridge University during the 18th century.

This edition allows modern readers to appreciate Holdsworth's skillful use of Latin and his sharp observations on the foibles of scholarly pursuits.
