  BMCR-L: BMCR 2005.01.29, Leofranc Holford-Strevens, Aulus Gellius.
Yet the attribution of Gellius' lack of a proper historical evaluation of the historiographical material to superficiality,[[6]] and his lack of interest in the more specialist fields of philosophy, like logic or metaphysics, to a lack of comprehension (p.
Gellius' approach to these topics does not necessarily indicate a lack of depth but can be interpreted as a particular literary or educational statement, especially if it is seen in relation to his emphasis on the cultural, rather than factual, aspect of the material.[[7]]
Nevertheless, their separate examination conveys a sense of the variety of Gellius' subject-matter and the diversity of his interests, which are both important for understanding the nature of his achievement.

Rev. by J.J. O'Donnell Aulus Gellius is an author read with pleasure by most scholars.
For in Oxonian Holford-Strevens, Aulus Gellius has not only found an aficionado who will dedicate the book ``D.M. Auli Gelli'' with half a dozen tastefully restrained elegiac couplets, he has found a scholar who is capable of matching him, however far A.G. ranges, subject by subject.
Aulus Gellius nods and H.-S. is there to catch him; but I cannot say that I have caught H.-S. in any moment of similar weakness.

 László A. Magyar: Digitus medicinalis - the etymology of the name
The data of Gellius should, however, be treated with some caution, partly because Apion’s work mentioned by him has been lost (9) and partly because it was not unanimously stated either by Macrobius or Gellius that the name digitus medicinalis should be associated with this tradition.
In addition, there is no trace of the view entertained by Gellius in the preserved Egyptian medical texts (10), although in the text of Macrobius the Egyptian cultic importance of the ring finger is verified by other examples, too (11).
However, the scientific explanations of Gellius and Macrobius – as already pointed out by Bachofen, too – are still not satisfactory and rather seem to be the rational explanation of a belief (15).

 [Noctes Atticae]. : GELLIUS, (Aulus).
Aulus Gellius began his collection of notes on grammar, geography, history, philosophy and any other interesting things he came across in his reading and conversation to while away the long Winter evenings in Athens where he was studying philosophy.

 What is Humanism?
Humanitas, says Gellius, is incorrectly used to denote a "promiscuous benevolence, what the Greeks call philanthropy," whereas the word really implies doctrine and discipline, and is applicable not to men in general but only to a select few,—it is, in short, aristocratic and not democratic in its implication.
The confusion that Gellius complains of is not only interesting in itself, but closely akin to one that we need to be on guard against to-day.
Aulus Gellius, who was a man of somewhat crabbed and pedantic temper, would apparently exclude sympathy almost entirely from his conception of humanitas and confine the meaning to what he calls cura et disciplina; and he cites the authority of Cicero.

 Marietta HORSTER
The paper focuses on Aulus Gellius’ characterisation of grammarians.
Though Gellius presumes that excellent knowledge of literature and language is the most important precondition (which grammarians should probably fulfil) for acceptance as a ‘member’ of intellectual circles, an ‘amateur’ status of the speaker Gellius is another.
It is very likely that our perception of the intellectual culture in general and of the grammarians in particular is very much influenced by authors who tried to upgrade themselves by lessening the intellectual and social qualities of other professionals: the teaching philologists, the grammarians.

 Aulus Gellius
Gellius (123 - 169 AD) was a Latin author who studied grammar, rhetoric and philosophy in the tradition of the Greek scholars.
Despite its lack of sequence it is a valuable source on the daily life and social circumstances of the 2nd century AD.
It is from the lost Aegyptiaca of Apion, a first-century AD grammarian from Alexandria, that Gellius retells two well-known fables; the story of Androclus and the Lion (V.14), and the Boy on the Dolphin (VI.8).

Aulus Gellius' accounts of his studies in Athens are a major source for the personality of Taurus the Platonic philosopher of the 2nd century A.D. and besides, give important insights into the history of Platonic school of that time.
The present work puts together Gellius' reports on the Middle Platonist for the first time and — by its detailed commentary — offers a new understanding of contents, form and methods of his philosophical instructions, of the relationship between teacher and students, and of student life in the 2nd century A.D. in general.

The dates of Gellius' birth and death remain quite uncertain; the author was born sometime between 125 and 128 and died perhaps after 170.

 Fitzgibbon: Gellius' Attitude to Philosophy in the Attic Nights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Aulus Gellius is no philosopher nor does he follow any particular doctrine of philosophy.
However, along with the variety of topics Gellius finds useful enough to include in his Attic Nights is the topic of philosophy.
Among topics such as grammar, dialectic, rhetoric, geometry, and sundry religious practice, he also finds time to comment on his own philosophical education, schools of philosophy from the past, and also personal and professional characteristics of well-known founders and teachers of philosophy.

 Bucephalus - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In Plutarch’s story it is unclear who ended up paying for the horse—Diodorus says at one point (17.76.6) that it was Demaratus of Corinth; Aulus Gellius (5.2.1) says that it was bought for 13 talents and given to Philip, although he doesn’t say by whom.
Bucephalus is generally thought of as being fl, although he is distinctly brown on the Alexander Mosaic.
Such was Alexander’s grief at the loss of his horse that he had a city founded around Bucephalus’ tomb, which was called Alexandria Bucephala (A 5.19.4; C 9.3.23; P 61.1; D 17.95.5; J 12.8; Alexander Romance, A-Text, 3.35; Aelian 16.3; Aulus Gellius 5.2.5; Pliny, NH, 6.23, 8.155; Strabo 15.1.29).

 Cornelius Nepos: Lives of Eminent Commanders (1886).  Preface to the online edition
Mentioned by Aulus Gellius (Attic Nights, xv.28.2), apparently composed after the death of the orator.
The title is unknown, but the work is referred to by Pliny the Elder, who speaks of it as uncritical (v.4), and Pomponius Mela.
Gellius gives a reference to book 12, with reference to a Roman historian (xi.8.5), which is confusing: either there is an error in Gellius, or else an extra book of introductory matter preceded each pair of books of lives.

He finds tantalizing intimations of it here and there in many' places, as in the Greek Anthology, in the scrapbook of Aulus Gellius, in the poems of Ausonius, and in the brief and touching tribute, Bene merenti, bestowed upon the unknown occupants of Roman tombs.
But these are vague and fragmentary; they lead him nowhere in his search for some kind of measure of this substratum, but merely testify what he already knew apriori that the substratum did somewhere exist.
