Ponderous and new considerations upon the first six books of the Annals of CORNELIUS TACITUS concerning TIBERIUS CAESAR (GENOA, BIBLIOTECA DURAZZO, MS. A IV 5) edited with an Introduction and Commentary by Patricia J. Osmond and Robert W. Utley, Jr. Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies Volume 508, Renaissance English Text Society (RETS) Volume 38. 9.75"x6.75", 265 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. This edition makes available for the first time a recently discovered and provocative work by the English historian Edmund Bolton. Composed in the years 16291634, Averrunci or The Skowrers aims at exposing Tacitus' (alleged) anti-monarchical bias in Annals 16 and at rehabilitating the character and reign of the emperor Tiberius. The Introduction discusses the manuscript in the context of Bolton's life and other works, its response to political and historiographical controversies in early Stuart England, and its unusual, revisionist position in the contemporary movement of Tacitism. A Commentary, following the text, explains difficult passages and identifies Bolton's extensive historical references. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
