Topic: Gellius


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  Bryn Mawr Classical Review 02.01.09
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.

 Diotima
Gellius describes the purpose of his research in the work's preface; he has read widely and recorded information:
The work survives today in mostly complete form (the eighth book and the end of the twentieth are missing), unlike many of the lost sources to which Gellius refers.
The dates of Gellius' birth and death remain quite uncertain; the author was born sometime between 125 and 128 and died perhaps after 170.

 Der Platoniker Tauros in Der Darstellung Des Aulus Gellius (Philosophia Antiqua)
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.
FR Die Berichte des Aulus Gellius uber seinen Studienaufenthalt in Athen sind eine bedeutende Quelle fur das Personlichkeitsbild des Platonikers Taurus (2.Jh.n.Chr.) und vermitteln wichtige Einblicke in die Geschichte der platonischen Schule dieser Zeit.

 Fitzgibbon: Gellius' Attitude to Philosophy in the Attic Nights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
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.

Aulus Gellius originated the modern use of 'classical' and 'humanities'.
His Attic Nights contain information on many aspects of antiquity, and preserve much early Latin literature that would otherwise be lost; they also offer personal reminiscences and vignettes of life in the second century AD.
The whole work is interspersed with interesting personal observations and vignettes of second-century life that throw light on the Antonine world.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aristotle
He may, as Gellius says, have conducted a school of rhetoric during his former residence in the city; but now, following the example of Plato, he gave regular instruction in philosophy choosing for that purpose a gymnasium dedicated to Apollo Lyceios, from which his school has come to be known as the Lyceum.
With the advent of Descartes, and the shifting of the centre of philosophical inquiry from the external world to the internal, from nature to mind, Aristoteleanism, as an actual system, began to be more and more identified with traditional scholasticism, and was not studied apart from scholasticism except for its historic interest.
It is customary to distinguish, on the authority of Gellius, two classes of Aristotelean writings: the exoteric, which were intended for the general Public, and the acroatic, which were intended merely for the limited circle of those who were well versed in the phraseology and modes of thought of the School.

Although Gellius Maximus was a lowly physician's son, he achieved the status of Roman senator.
His ambitious nature was further demonstrated when he became an officer in the Fourth Legion (Scythica) in Syria.

 Hellenistic Astrology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
An often cited example is that of a cylinder placed on a hill — the initial and external cause of being pushed down the hill represents the rational order of fate, while its naturally rollable shape represents will and character of the mind (Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae, 7.2.11).
Cultivation of character through knowledge and training was thought to result in "harmonious acceptance of events" (which are governed by the rational plan of the cosmos), whereas lack of culture results in the errors of pitting oneself against fate (Gellius, 7.2.6).
Berossus, a Babylonian priest who settled on the island of Cos and the author of Babuloniakos, is often credited for bringing Babylonian astrology to the Greek-speaking world.
