Aulus Gellius: An Antonine Scholar and His Achievement

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 A.D. . This comprehensive study examines his life and writings. It has been fully revised in the light of recent work.
