Abstract
This article is the first to shed light on a partial autograph manuscript by Alessandro Tassoni (housed at the Library of the Accademia dei Lincei e Corsiniana). It contains two of his translations of Tacitus (Germany and The Life of Agricola), together with some censures on Justus Lipsius’ edition of the Latin historian’s works. It can undoubtedly be attributed to the first years of the 17th century and may have been meant for the cardinal Ascanio Colonna (for whom Tassoni was working at the time); moreover, this work confirms the Modenese writer’s interest in Tacitus, not only from a historical and ideological perspective, but also from a critical and philological one.
