Reviews
Did the world need a new critical edition of Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae just over half a century after P. K. Marshall published his Oxford Classical Text? Those who thought not are proven wrong by this magnificent edition by Leofranc Holford-Strevens ... He has produced not only the best edition of Gellius to date, but also a masterpiece of Latin textual scholarship ... His passion for the author, his deep knowledge of the text and his skill as a textual critic have helped to create a truly outstanding edition. * Daniel Kiss, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
Holford-Strevens, who has spent a lifetime working on the Noctes Atticae and is almost certainly the greatest authority on Gellius in the world today. His passion for the author, his deep knowledge of the text and his skill as a textual critic have helped to create a truly outstanding edition. * Daniel Kiss, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
