My dissertation examines collecting, deploying, and ordering knowledge in Aulus Gellius’s second-century Latin “miscellany,” the Noctes Atticae. This project is divided into three parts that address questions of the use of knowledge within the Noctes Atticae, its relationship with alternative ancient systems of ordering knowledge, and its repurposing by later readers. In the final part, I read MSS and early printed editions, many held in Rome, for alterations to the text that illustrate changing ideas about how miscellaneous knowledge should be accessed and used by readers in the afterlife of the Noctes Atticae.
