They contain formulae , i.e. sample letters without specific addressees. Until now, they have hardly been taken into account by scholars, and have sometimes been used unfiltered as a source of information. This has ignored the fact that - contrary to what the praefatio might suggest - this is not a mere collection of forms to make administrative procedures easier, but a literary documentation of the Roman administration. This provides unique insights into the final period of the Ostrogothic Empire, but only if the linguistically demanding text is correctly understood and appreciated as a literary construct. This work is the first to present a complete German translation of Book 6, flanked by a Latin reading text (closely based on Fridh's edition) and a comprehensive philological commentary. The preceding introduction examines the circumstances of origin, aims and possible literary models of the formulae ; it also provides an overview of the linguistic, stylistic and argumentative characteristics of the text.

I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.
Item arrived still wrapped as advertised but it must have taken some damage in transit since it arrived with a couple cracks and a small chunk of the frame of the case had completely detached. BUT the discs were still undamaged so I messaged the seller to tell them I was still going to keep the item I just wanted to let them know about the issue and they messaged me back and offered me 20% off the order to make up for the inconvenience. Great seller. Would purchase from them again.
The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
