This book presents the complete corpus of Gaius Julius Caesar's writings. Caesar's choice of the Latin term commentarii for the title of his books meant "notes" or "memorial notes" and, in the linguistic practice of the first century B.C., referred to memoir rather than to historical literature proper. As a rule, this term denoted unprocessed diary notes, which usually formed the basis of another, whole and processed work. Nevertheless, Caesar's "Notes" are subordinated to a single artistic concept and have many features indicative of their stylistic finish. The purpose of the "Notes" was an attempt to prove the just and even forced nature of the wars that Caesar waged. Caesar hoped to make his point of view more convincing through extensive factual material and addressed in the "Notes" not so much to contemporaries, but to posterity.
