Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Aulus Gellius (ca. 123170 CE) is known almost wholly from his
"Noctes Atticae, " 'Attic Nights', so called because it was begun
during the nights of an Attic winter. The work collects in twenty
books (of Book VIII only the index is extant) interesting notes
covering philosophy, history, biography, all sorts of antiquities,
points of law, literary criticism, and lexicographic matters,
explanations of old words and questions of grammar. The work is
valuable because of its many excerpts from other authors whose
works are lost; and because of its evidence for people's manners
and occupations. Some at least of the dramatic settings may be
genuine occasions.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of "Attic Nights" is in
three volumes.
