In addition to Caesar's commentaries on the Gallic and civil wars, includes commentaries on the African, Alexandrine and Spanish wars, attributed in the text to Aulus Hirtius. According to the Oxford Classical Dictionary, while Hirtius is the probable author of "Commentariorum de bello Alexandrino" (as well as the eighth book of "Commentariorum de bello Gallico"), he cannot be credited with either "Commentariorum de bello Africano" or "Commentariorum de bello Hispaniensi."

"Historiae Julii Caesaris fragmentum" was written by Petrarch and originally appeared in his collective biographical work, De viris illustribus. According NUC pre-1956, it was also published anonymously in 1473 in the earliest edition of Caesar's "Commentariorum de bello Gallico." In later editions (until 1827) it was incorrectly attributed to Julius Celsus.
