Excerpt from P. Cornelii Taciti, Vol. 1: Annalium Ab Excessu Divi Augusti Libri, the Annals of Tacitus
In preparing the commentary all the principal editions have been freely used. Among earlier ones, especial obligation must be acknowledged to Walters full summary of the chief textual criticism down to his own date (Halle, 1831), and the valuable edition of Ruperti (Hanover, 1834), in which all the Excursus of Lipsius, and the chief results of the labour of other commentators down to that time are brought together. Among later editions those most consulted have been Ritter (Cambridge, 1848), Orelli (2nd ed., by Baiter. Zurich, 1859), E. Jacob (2nd ed., Paris, 1885), Draeger (5th ed., Leipzig, 1887), Psitzner (2nd ed., Gotha, 1892). and Nipperdey (9th ed., by G. Andresen, Berlin, 1892), also the editions of two American scholars, that of Professor Holbrooke (London. 1882) and that of Professor Allen (Boston. 1890).
To these, most especially to Nipperdey and Andresen, I am repeatedly and constantly indebted; and it is the more necessary for me here to acknowledge my general obligation in the most emphatic manner, inasmuch as thet special sources of each note are often too complex to be easily stated.
Among separate works bearing on the criticism and interpretation of the text, those most used have been the old ' Lexicon Taciteum' of Botticher (Berlin. 1830).
