Series: Wissenschaftliche Kommentare zu griechischen und lateinischen Schriftstellern.'It is meet and proper that a reviewer, contemplating this final volume of major work, should first of all salute it with admiration and gratitude. A lifetime's work has gone to the making of Professor Koestermann's commentary on Tacitus: it bears everywhere the marks of his encyclopaedic knowledge of everything that touches his author, and of his meticulous reporting of that information: and its four volumes have been produced within five years, which is a notable testimony to the industry of editor an publisher alike. (It is a great and useful work. (...) Anyone who works on Tacitus with this commentary (and it will be Required Reading for all of us for many years to come) will find his horizon extended, his bibliography enriched, and his time saved.'
