"Tacitus is the outstanding historian and the principal prose writer of the Silver Age of Latin letters... Relatively unknown during the Middle Ages, Tacitus, whose works were first printed in Venice about 1473 and several times reprinted before the end of the century, exercised great influence on Renaissance historians. Justus Lipsius (1547-1606), the Netherlands scholar, knew the whole of Tacitus by heart, and his great edition (here cited), nineteen times reprinted, is one of the monuments of sixteenth-century scholarship. In a life much vexed by the violence of governments, he found much, as his notes declare, in common with Tacitus's ironic and cynical records of first-century Rome." (PMM).
