Sommario/riassunto: | This esoteric and original study focuses on the equally singular work of Aulus Gellius--a Roman author and grammarian (ca. 120-180 A.D.), possibly of African origin. 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. |
