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.
