Opis

Aulus Gellius originated the modern use of "classical" and "humanities." His Attic Nights contains information on many aspects of antiquity, and preserves much early Latin literature that would otherwise be lost; it also offers personal reminiscences and vignettes of life in the second century AD. This comprehensive study examines his life and writings. It has been fully revised in the light of recent work.

Recenzje

A book to mine for its information.... and to enjoy for its own spirited enjoyment of scholarship and of the literature that scholarship illuminates.
