The Attic Nights by Aulus Gellius, an outstanding miscellaneous work written in the second Century AD, represents in itself the pleasure of scholarship. The work reaches its golden stage as reading and inspiration in the 16th Century. Our essay investigates the editorial evolution that goes from Luis Carrión, at the end of the 16th Century, to Martin Hertz, at the end of the 19th Century. It is about three centuries of reception of the Attic Nights represented by their main editions (L. Carrio [1585]; J. F. Gronovius [1651]; J. Gronovius [1706] and M. Hertz [1883-1885]). We want to study such editions from four specific copies acquired in the context of the Bibliotheca Gelliana project. From this methodological point of view, our purpose is to analyze such copies according to the way in which each one of them represents Gellius’ work in the context of his time, not only from a strictly philological point of view (the text), but also bibliographic (the edition and the copy).Downloads
