He was a friend of Pliny the Younger and married the daughter of Cnaeus Julius Agricola. In A.D. 97 he was appointed substitute consul under Nerva, and later he was proconsul of Asia. The first of his works was the Dialogus [dialogue], a discussion of oratory in the style of Cicero, demonstrating to some degree why Tacitus was celebrated as an eloquent speaker; this work was long disputed, but his authorship is now generally accepted. Tacitus then wrote a biography of Agricola, expressing his admiration for his father-in-law as a good and able man. His small treatise De origine et situ Germanorum [concerning the origin and location of the Germans], commonly called the

31. Tacitus tacitus. tacitus je asi právem považován za nejvetšího historika rímskéríše. O ní neco málo zaznamenává sám tacitus ve svých knihách. http://www.gml.cz/stud/antika/tacitus.htm

Tacitus Svou spisovatelskou dráhu zahájil teprve za klidné vlády Traiana a to spisem Životopis Iulia Agricoly, v nìmž oslavil úspìchy svého tchána v Británii. Spis z roku 98 je protknut témìø posvátnou úctou pøed vynikajícím mužem impéria. Ještì téhož roku pak Tacitus sepsal spis o pùvodu, sídlech, zvycích a kmenech Germánù nazvaný Germania (nebo úplnìji a pøesnìji O pùvodu, sídle, mravech a národech Germánù). Toto dílo má obrovský význam pro poznání starovìku v Nìmecku, by vychází pøedevším z knih Caesara a Plinia staršího. Na spisu je zajímavá sympatie autora pro mravnì nezkazitelné Germány i strach z potencionálního nebezpeèí ze strany tìchto národù. Tacitus údajnì plánoval sepsání dalších dvou knih - jedné o díle Augusta a druhé o vládì Nervy a Traiana, ale k tomu už se nedostal - smrt byla asi rychlejší. Kromì tìchto historických dìl sepsal Tacitus Rozhovor o øeènících, kulturní dokument velkého významu. Dialog má téma úpadku soudního øeènictví, kterým se Tacitus mimo jiné dlouho živil, ve starém Øímì za císaøství. Styl a sloh tohoto spisu se pomìrnì radikálnì liší od všech ostatních Tacitových dìl, což dalo vzniknout sporné myšlence, že autor tohoto spisu je jiný a nám neznámý. Tuto otázku však asi nikdy s jistotou nevyøešíme. Tacitova díla nejsou opìvována jen pro svùj obsah, ale pro svou vynikající formu. Tacitovi se jako jednomu z prvních podaøilo díky síle své osobnosti napsat dìjiny jako historické drama, plného vzruchu, ale pøitom vìtšinou pravdivého. Používal propracovaných psychologických obrazù osobností, hledá souvislosti a pøíèiny. S historikù antiky jej mùžeme srovnávat jen s málokterými Øeky (Hérodotos, Thúkydidés, Polybios) a možná s žádným Øímanem. Jeho díla samozøejmì nejsou bez chybièky, nìkterá fakta úèelovì pøevrátil, ale stejnì ho øadíme k naprosté elitì svìtových historikù všech dob.

Craig Space Historia : Cornelius Tacitus CORNELIVS TACITVS PAX ROMANA: The "Roman Peace" (Source unknown) Background Tacitus was born about A.D. 56 and probably died some time after A.D. 117. We don't know a lot about him. Though he wrote quite a bit, he was very "taciturn" when it came to writing about himself. His birthplace may have been somewhere in the vicinity of Massilia (modern Marseilles, in southern France). It was an old Greek city-colony, a centre of sophisticated Greek culture and philosophy in a Roman empire that thought such things effeminate and unworthy. His Career and Personality Tacitus was an aristocrat through and through, the son of a member of the privileged Roman "knight" class. He eventually became a Roman senator. This position brought him great wealth and power. Despite his social advantages and very high rank, he complained bitterly about the tyrany of the elitist, autocratic political system and the lack of political and personal freedom in the dictatorship of the Empire. Like many people in such situations, however, he led a very successful public career. This could have been the result of several factors. Perhaps he could deal with the obvious hypocrisy of his position. Perhaps he was personally ambitious or cynical. He may have had a sense of duty to his state, his people or to the idealism of Rome and its "destiny". It may have been a combination of all these.

Handlungsweise und Charakter seiner Personen erklärt er stets psychologisch, die Schreibweise ist geprägt von unglaublichen Ellipsen und einer absoluten Meisterschaft auf dem Sektor der (bewusste Vermeidung parallelen Satzbaus).

Tacitus and his manuscripts Introduction There are quite a number of misleading statements about this subject circulating on the internet, including the curious idea that Tacitus was forged in the 14th century by Poggio Bracciolini. This page has been written to place the facts at the disposal of those interested, and references to more information. The intended audience is the interested layman. All this material is derived from the sources listed. I've also added a short paragraph on the allegations that Tacitus' works were forged. The works of Tacitus that have come down to us are as follows: Annales Annales Historiae Minor Works The titles Annales and Historiae are 16th century, as the manuscripts present both works under the title Ab excessu divi Augusti Historiae 1-5 appear as books 17-21 in the MS. It is generally accepted "that Tacitus completed the Historiae in 14 books, and then wrote 16 books Ab excessu Divi Augusti , but did not complete the prolegomenary and supplemental works which he had projected. The result, therefore, was two historical works which were subsequently combined, possibly by the author but more probably by a later editor, into a single sequence of 30 books numbered consecutively. The existence of such a consolidated edition is implied in Jerome's oft-quoted reference ( Comm. ad Zach

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... Z > Nicholas Tacitus Zegers A B C D ... Z Nicholas Tacitus Zegers Famous exegete, born either at Diest or Brussels during the latter half of the fifteenth century; died at Louvain, 25 August, 1559. After receiving a scientific education at Louvain, he entered the Franciscan Order, joining the Province of Cologne. At the division for that province; he was assigned to the Low German Province. There, coming under the influence of Francis Titelmann, professor of exegesis in the convent of Louvain, he devoted himself to the study of Scriptures and succeeded Titelmann in the chair of exegesis in 1536. In 1548 he gave up his chair to devote himself to writing. His solid foundation in Greek and Hebrew enabled him to exercise sound critical judgment on the explanation of the different passages of Holy Writ, a quality at that time very rare. Memeranus writes of him: Vir pietatis amans, semper studiosus honesti, Et bona qui semper publica ubique juvat. The fruits of his literary labours were very numerous. Besides many translations of ascetical works from the Flemish and French into Latin, he also wrote: "Proverbia Teutonica Latinitate Donata" (Antwerp, 1550 and 1571); "Scholion in omnes Novi Testamenti libros" (Cologne, 1553); "Epanorthotes, sive Castigationes Novi Testamenti" (Cologne, 1555); "Dye Collegie der Wysheit ghefundeert in dye universiteit der deughden" (Antwerp, 1556); "Inventorium in Testamentum Novum", a kind of concordance (Antwerp, 1558 and 1566); "Novum Jesu Christi Testamentum juxta vetorem ecclesiae editionem" (Louvain, 1559); and finally a catechism in Flemish.
