http://cr.middlebury.edu/public/russian/bulgakov/public_html/Tacitus.html

Extractions: Publius Cornelius Tacitus (c. 56-10?) was a Roman historian, the author of, among other works, two long histories covering the imperial history from AD 14 to 96. These works are today known as the Histories and the Annals . Tacitus drew on previous historical works, on public records, and on his own experience. His accounts show a nostalgia for the earlier days of the free republic and an aversion to autocracy. While the authenticity of some of Tacitus' earlier works is in question, the Annals are generally regarded as both authentic and historically accurate. In spite of the fact that our knowledge of Annals 11-16 relies on one extant manuscript, the authenticity of Book 15 is not in question. Bulgakov's notes contains copies of this passage in French and Latin. (Ianovskaia, Tvorcheskii put' , 251). Tacitus mentions Christ in the context of persecution of the Christians under Nero: Part of this passage (Bk 15) in the Annals (109) reads Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular.

Tacitus: Agricola
THE LIFE OF CNAEUS JULIUS AGRICOLA. The Emperor Domitian. by tacitus.(98 AD). Translated by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb.
http://members.aol.com/antoninus1/piety/agricola.htm

Extractions: The Emperor Domitian by Tacitus (98 A.D.) Translated by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb 2. We have only to read that the panegyrics pronounced by Arulenus Rusticus on Paetus Thrasea, and by Herennius Senecio on Priscus Helvidius, were made capital crimes, that not only their persons but their very books were objects of rage, and that the triumvirs were commissioned to burn in the forum those works of splendid genius. They fancied, forsooth, that in that fire the voice of the Roman people, the freedom of the Senate, and the conscience of the human race were perishing, while at the same time they banished the teachers of philosophy, and exiled every noble pursuit, that nothing good might anywhere confront them. Certainly we showed a magnificent example of patience; as a former age had witnessed the extreme of liberty, so we witnessed the extreme of servitude, when the informer robbed us of the interchanges of speech, and hearing. We should have lost memory as well as voice, had it been as easy to forget as to keep silence. 8. Britain was then under Vettius Bolanus, who governed more mildly than suited so turbulent a province. Agricola moderated his energy and restrained his ardour, that he might not grow too important, for he had learnt to obey, and understood well how to combine expediency with honour. Soon afterwards Britain received for its governor a man of consular rank, Petilius Cerialis. Agricola's merits had now room for display. Cerialis let him share at first indeed only the toils and dangers, but before long the glory of war, often by way of trial putting him in command of part of the army, and sometimes, on the strength of the result, of larger forces. Never to enhance his own renown did Agricola boast of his exploits; he always referred his success, as though he were but an instrument, to his general and director. Thus by his valour in obeying orders and by his modesty of speech he escaped jealousy without losing distinction.

Extractions: TACITUS Historian Cornelius Tacitus is one of the greatest historians of ancient Rome and a primary source for much of what is known about life the first and second centuries after the life of Jesus . His most famous works, Histories and Annals exist in fragmentary form, and many of his earlier writings were lost to time, but Tacitus is known for being generally reliable (if somewhat biased toward what he saw as Roman immorality) and for having a unique and direct writing style.

Ash: On Tacitus, The Histories
Review of tacitus The Histories, translated WH Fyfe, revised and edited DS Levene. P.Sinclair, tacitus the Sententious Historian (University Park Pa.
http://www.dur.ac.uk/Classics/histos/1997/ashrev.html

Extractions: In the dedication to his translation of Tacitus' Histories (Oxford 1912), W.H. Fyfe quotes Sir Henry Savile (1591): "If thy stomacke be so tender as thou canst not digest Tacitus in his owne stile, thou art beholding to one who gives thee the same food, but with a pleasant and easie taste". This might imply that F.'s translation is bland, which it is not. F.'s English is pithy, but clear. D.S. Levene has done a great service in making this translation accessible to a contemporary audience and more accurate too (e.g. "tres et viginti" (1.27.2): (F.) "thirty-three", (L.) "twenty-three"). L. notes wryly that an English edition which sought to capture every nuance of Tacitus' idiosyncratic style would be virtually unreadable (xxiii). Yet F. does much to mirror Tacitus' style and to avoid creating sentences which collapse under their own weight: simplicity and brevity are the chief criteria. Comparison with K. Wellesley's translation (Penguin 1993) is illuminating. "ceteri crura brachiaque (nam pectus tegebatur) foede laniavere; pleraque vulnera feritate et saevitia trunco iam corpori adiecta" (1.41.3): (W) "The rest of them, with revolting butchery, hacked at his legs and arms, as these (unlike his body) were not protected by armour. These sadistic monsters even inflicted a number of wounds on the already truncated corpse", (F.) "The others foully mangled his arms and legs (his breast was protected) and with bestial savagery continued to stab the headless corpse", (L.) "The others foully mutilated his arms and legs (his breast was protected) and with bestial savagery continued to stab the headless corpse".
