City of the Sun Or, Civitas Solis

The City of the Sun (Latin: Civitas Solis) is a philosophical work by the Italian Dominican philosopher Tommaso Campanella. It is an important early utopian work. The work was written in Italian in 1602, shortly after Campanella's imprisonment for heresy and sedition. A Latin version was written in 1613-1614 and published in Frankfurt in 1623.
