"Stories from Aulus Gellius" by Aulus Gellius is an educational collection that adapts selections from the ancient work "Noctes Atticae," likely compiled in the 2nd century AD. This compilation aims to introduce young students to classical themes, presenting entertaining anecdotes and moral lessons that stem from Aulus Gellius's original writings. The book serves as a way to engage students with Latin literature while simultaneously offering insight into historical figures and philosophical ideas. The opening of this work sets the stage for its educational purpose. The editor, Rev. G. H. Nall, explains that the stories are simplified and accompanied by notes and exercises designed for younger learners. The text hints at the biographical and cultural context of Aulus Gellius, suggesting that he was a Roman scholar well-acquainted with prominent philosophers of his time. Furthermore, anecdotes about famous figures such as Socrates and Vergil are introduced, promising readers a blend of literary analysis, historical anecdotes, and moral reflections that provide both entertainment and education.
