=520    $$a Great Books of the Western World is a series of books originally published in the United States in 1952 by Encyclopedia Britannica Inc. in an attempt to present the western canon in a single package of 54 volumes. The series is now in its second edition and contains 60 volumes. Volume 14 served the history, philosophy and works of Cornelius Tacitus. He comes from the Greco-Roman tradition of writers of history whose purpose is as much to promote a moral agenda using rhetorical flourishes as it is to record facts. In Rome, Tacitus studied oratory, including Cicero, and may have written oratorical treatises before his 4 best known writings, the historic/ethnographic pieces known as Agricola, Germania, Historiae (Histories), and Annales (Annals).
