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.

Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.

[And I decry how eBay has taken to erase my descriptive Feedbacks each time, forcing me to save these words in Notes, and retrieve it for editing, for each successive detailed feedback submission. DO YOU SEE THIS, EBAY?!]
