Description: "In Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae the lack of homogeneity of form and content is an explicitly declared programme, and the work has been assigned to the miscellanies of the 2nd century AD. This volume finds and follows a common thread through the confusing variety of forms of representation and themes of Gellius' commonplace book. Starting with the ancient author's opening remarks and drawing on modern cultural sciences, memoria is described as a concept that permeates the entire work."--Publisher's website.
