Tacitus and Bracciolini. The Annals Forged in the XVth Century

This book presents a theory about the authorship of the Annals of Tacitus, one of the most revered works in Roman history. The author argues that the Annals were not written by Tacitus at all, but rather by the renowned Florentine of the Renaissance, Poggio Bracciolini. Through extensive analysis of the text, the author demonstrates a plethora of inconsistencies and factual errors that point to Poggio as the true author. But this is not mere speculation – the author also presents evidence from Poggio's own correspondence, revealing the full story of how the forgery was conceived and executed.
