Publisher's Synopsis
""Tacitus And Bracciolini The Annals Forged In The XVth Century"" is a book written by John Wilson Ross. It delves into the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the Annals of Tacitus, a historical work from ancient Rome, and the role played by Poggio Bracciolini, an Italian scholar from the 15th century. The book explores the evidence for and against the idea that Bracciolini forged the Annals, and analyzes the motivations and methods that he may have used to do so. Ross also examines the wider historical and cultural context of the debate, including the Renaissance fascination with classical texts and the political and religious tensions of the time.
