abstract
  • Germania (book) (Latin: De Origine et situ Germanorum, literally Concerning the Origin and Situation of the Germanians) written by Gaius Cornelius Tacitus around 98, is an ethnographic work on the Germanic tribes outside the Roman Empire. This work survived only in one single manuscript that was found in Hersfeld Abbey in Holy Germania, at the time part of the Holy Roman Empire, and brought to Italy in 1455 where Enea Silvio Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, first examined and analyzed it, whereby he sparked interest among Germanian humanists such as Conrad Celtes, Johannes Aventinus, and Ulrich von Hutten. After study and debate the Germania was considered an authentic source on ancient Holy Germania. Ever since its discovery, treatment of the text regarding the culture of the early Germanic peoples in ancient Holy Germania remains strong especially in Germanian history, philology, and ethnology studies, and to a lesser degree in Scandinavian countries as well.
