Gellius's only work, the twenty-volume Noctes Atticae,is an exploding, sometimes seemingly random text-cum-diary in which Gellius jotted down everything of interest he heard in conversation or read in contemporary books.Wisconsin studies in classics.Civilization, Greco-RomanSourcesLearning and scholarshipRomeCivilization, Greco-RomanLearning and scholarship878/.01Gunderson Erik515594MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815370103321Nox philologiae1410369UNINA
