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. 505 0 Intro -- Contents -- Editor's Title Page -- Editor's Preface -- Original Title Page -- The Author's Preface: Verfremdungseffekt -- The Other Preface: Again and Again -- The Third Preface: Gellius's Preface -- Table of Contents -- Volume One -- Book One: Authority -- Book Two: Logic -- Book Three: Usage -- Book Four: Index of Names -- Book Five: Index of Things -- Volume Two -- Book Six: Books of Books -- Book Seven: Authors of the Author -- Book Eight: Readers of Readings -- Appendix: It Was to Be/It Is to Be -- Unplaced Fragments -- Spurious Fragments -- Bibliography. 500 Translated from the Latin. 504 Includes bibliographical references (p. 307-313) and indexes. 650 0 Civilization, Greco-Roman |vSources. 650 0 Learning and scholarship |zRome. 600 10 Gellius, Aulus. |tNoctes Atticae. 776 |z0-299-22970-X 830 0 Wisconsin studies in classics. 906 BOOK
