In publishing her doctoral dissertation on Muret (1526-1585), the author has benefitted not only that scholar of the sixteenth century, but all readers and teachers of Tacitus, and in particular those engaged in the study of the fortuna of the historian in the Renaissance and later periods and the history of classical scholarship in general. After an opening chapter summarizing the tradition of Tacitus’ works from antiquity to the first printed edition, the book is divided into three parts: Tacitus before Muret (editions, commentaries and translations, and Tacitus in the tradition of historiography and pedagogy); Muret’s work on Tacitus (textual criticism, his inaugural lecture on the Annals, and his commentary on them); and the rewards and contributions of Muret (to the text of the Annals, to the rehabilitation of the historian, to a possible renewed conception of history, and the initial success of his work). Each part has a conclusion, and there is a general conclusion at the end.
