The book also delves into the political and social context of the fifteenth century, discussing the motivations behind the forgery and the impact it had on Renaissance scholarship. Overall, ""Tacitus and Bracciolini: The Annals Forged in the Fifteenth Century"" offers a fascinating insight into the world of historical forgery and the challenges faced by scholars in determining the authenticity of ancient texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
