TACITUS. P. Cornelii Taciti,... Annalium ab excessu Augusti, sicut ipse vocat, sive Historiae Augustae, qui vulgo receptus titulus est, libri sedecim qui supersunt... recogniti... per Beatum Rhenanum... Libellus de Germanorum populis, Dialogus de oratoribus, denique Vita Julii Agricolae, non solum emaculatius prodeunt, sed et explicatius, adjunctis in hanc rem scholiis. Super haec omnia accesserunt in initio operis Thesaurus constructionum locutionumque et vocum Tacito solennium, citatis etiam ex Livio plerunque testimoniis, ac in calce rerum memorabilium index... Nec desunt aliorum in hunc autorem ante editae annotationes praefationesque, sive Beroaldi seu Alciati. Basileae : in officina Frobeniana, 1544. In-folio, introductory parts (34 ff.), 504 pp. 6 ff. n. ch. and index, Froben's mark on title and end. Bound in 18th century brown calf, spine decorated, red edges. Good edition given by Beatus Rhenanus, real name Beat Bild, the second after the one of 1533. (Some binding defects, re-tinted epidermal marks, numerous old annotations in ink in the margins, the head margins are trimmed a little short which has led to the loss of qq. handwritten comments. Otherwise a good copy).
