Contributions Toward A History Of Arabico-Gothic Culture V3: Tacitus' Germania And Other Forgeries (1920) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436563956)

Contributions Toward A History Of Arabico-Gothic Culture V3: Tacitus������� Germania And Other Forgeries is a book written by Leo Wiener, first published in 1920. This book is the third volume in a series of works that explore the history of Arabico-Gothic culture. In this volume, Wiener focuses on Tacitus������� Germania, a work that has been widely studied and regarded as a primary source on the ancient Germanic people. However, Wiener argues that Germania is a forgery, and that it was created during the Middle Ages to support the idea of a pure Aryan race. Wiener also discusses other forgeries that have contributed to the myth of the Aryan race, including the Oera Linda Book and the Vinland Map. He argues that these forgeries were created to support the idea of a superior northern European culture, and that they have had a lasting impact on the study of history and culture. Overall, Contributions Toward A History Of Arabico-Gothic Culture V3: Tacitus������� Germania And Other Forgeries is a thought-provoking and controversial work that challenges traditional views on the history of the Germanic people and the concept of the Aryan race.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
