Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Tacitus and Bracciolini: The Annals Forged in the XVth Century"" is a book by John Wilson Ross that explores the controversial theory that the Annals of Tacitus, a historical text from ancient Rome, were actually forged by the Italian humanist Poggio Bracciolini in the 15th century. The book presents evidence and arguments to support this theory, drawing on historical documents, linguistic analysis, and other sources. Ross also delves into the context of the time period, including the political and social climate of Italy during the Renaissance. This book is a fascinating exploration of a historical mystery and will appeal to anyone interested in ancient history, literary analysis, and the art of forgery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
