Aulus Gellius and Roman Reading Culture: Text, Presence, and Imperial Knowledge in the Noctes Atticae
Howley, Joseph A. (Columbia University, New York)
Demonstrates the importance of Gellius' Noctes Atticae for the history of reading, thought, and intellectual culture in the Graeco-Roman world. Argues that Gellius is in close conversation with predecessors both Greek and Latin and also offers new ways of making sense of the text's 'miscellaneous' qualities.
