This contestation of Tacitus’s authenticity is no longer considered persuasive: see F. Madan, Books in manuscript: a short introduction to their study and use. With a chapter on records. London, 1893, pp. 130ff.; C.W. Mendell, Tacitus: The Man and his Work. New Haven, 1957; and an online summary by Roger Pearse, ‘<a href="https://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/tacitus/index.htm" rel="ugc nofollow">Tacitus and his Manuscripts</a>’.</span></font><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_1185480" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
