Lot Details

Gellius Aulus (AD 125-180) Noctes Atticae Editio nova et prioribus omnibus docti hominis cura multo catigatior. Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium, Amsterdam, 1651, engraved TP, depicting a scholar, inscription in ink to FEP & TP, vellum. Aulus Gellius, Latin author, only known work is this, a compilation of many items of interest of his time, but also valuable for excerpts from lost authors of antiquity. He is notable for story of the Sibylline Books, pages 32/33, also for the inscription that Naevius had put on his (own) tomb, page 39. First printed 1469, best edition was by Gronovius, but Gellius said to be very accurate. A nice copy from the collection of C. R. H. Taylor, former Chief Librarian, Alexander Turnbull Library, 1937-63.
