Note 1682 — Chapter II · TACITUS
Reading edition
Schanz, op. cit., II., pp. 293-296. Gudeman (op. cit., proleg.) successfully controverts Leo’s hypothesis of a date after Agric. and Germ., and refutes the support lent to that hypothesis in the theory of style propounded by Norden and Wilamowitz. Vogt’s pamphlet, Tac. als Politiker, Stuttg., 1924, ends with a brief defence of the early date.
