The Date of Augustus' Res Gestae. [From: Chiron, Bd. 18, 1988]. Ramage, Edwin S.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: From the time when Mommsen published his landmark second edition of the Res Gestae in 1883, the document has been the victim of constant theorizing and speculation. Heuss put it strongly, but fairly, a few years ago when he said that this queen of Latin inscriptions «ist... im Verlauf der modernen Forschung zu einem Schutthaufen sich widersprechender Thesen und Theorien geworden, deren meiste schon, kaum daß sie das Licht des Tages erblickten, gezeichnet waren.» Nowhere is this more evident than in matters of composition and date.
